While carrying a 21-man roster, the Lancers only had a few ready to compete in this meet with one of the better performances turned in by freshman Travon Avery (Lincoln High), who placed sixth in the high jump with a leap of 5-feet, 9.75 inches.
PCC took eighth in the distance medley at 12:01.38 behind Luca Augustyn, Stephen Houlemard, Dylan La Marsna, and Sergio De Los Santos Jr. Only Le Marsna (Burbank High) is a freshman.
First-year racer Anthony Pequeno (Temple City HS) was ninth in the 150 meters at 16.84 seconds.
Frosh Jamir Allen (Pasadena High) placed 13th in the 60 meter dash at 7.29 while sophomore Devin Hardy finished 18th in the 600 at 1:30.71.
