Mauro Rosales won the conference title in the 3000m Steeple Chase! Ian Rusk took 2nd in the 10,000m. The OEC track and field preliminaries took place last Friday with most of the events serving as a qualifier for next week's finals. Rosales started off the running events with a bang, winning the conference title in a strategic 10:15. After a comically slow first half of the race (18:45 5k), the pack dropped the pace from 6:00 miles to under 5:20. Three runners broke away from the main group: Austin Dai (Riverside), Giovanni Barajas (Santa Ana) and Fullerton's Ian Rusk. The race came down to a furiously paced final lap with Dai of Riverside out leaning Rusk by only .24 seconds (35:29.80 to 35:30.04). Both men ran the final 400m in 59 seconds. In the throwing events, Luis Marquez placed 7th in the Javelin (136'2") and 6th in the Shot Put (43'4"). Up Next: The conclusion of the Orange Empire Conference finals will take place this Friday, April 26 at Santa Ana College.
