Occasional Digest - a story for you

Jordan Coleman, the defending City Section champion in the 100 meters, made his outdoors debut for Granada Hills on Thursday during a dual meet against El Camino Real. Let’s just say he made a big difference.

The relay team of Coleman, Justin Hart, Timothy Wyatt and Kanye Martin won the boys’ 4X100 relay in 40.29 seconds, fastest in the state this season and fifth fastest all time. It was faster than the time Granada Hills ran to set a City Section record last season in 40.68.

Then Coleman won his 100 heat in 10.88 seconds, the fastest he has started his season. He had been injured after running the indoor circuit. He said he was excited after the race because he felt good with no pain. His best time last season was 10.36 seconds at the Arcadia Invitational, so he believes he will be an athlete to watch by the time the City and state championships are held next month and he reaches peak form.
