36 HERITAGE HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS
MEMORY BOOK | 2023-24
TRACK & FIELD
For the first time in six years, a Heritage track athlete reached the finals and earned a medal at the CIF Track & Field Champi- onships. At the same time, the Patriots earned the most points in the boys di- vision of the paralym- pic championships at the CIF meet, making a podium-worthy finish to the spring sports season.
Junior Eden Enoru
broke both of her own school records, in the 200 and 400 meter dash, becoming the first girl in school history to break 25 seconds in the 200 meters and 56 sec-
onds in the 400 meters. Enoru saved her best run for the trials at the state championship meet, going 55.65 and earning a spot in Saturday night’s final. Enoru earned a medal in the final on Saturday night, the
first for Heritage since Jett Charvet finished first and second in the 800 meter run in 2017 and 2018.
Enoru was joined at the state meet by senior Camille Williams, who set a new standard this season in the 300 meter hurdles of 44.63 and was the NCS Tri-Valley champion. Meanwhile, senior Alejandro Cervant-
es teamed up with Caleb Moorman as his guide runner to win the Paralympic 100 meter dash at the CIF Championships, and also placed with Moorman in the 200 meter dash and with Kylon Mitchell in the 400 meters.
Prior to the post-season championship meets, the Heritage perfor- mance at the BVAL Championships featured 12 event winners. Kylie Wisely and Michael Simpson were both double winners in the distance events, and the Patriots won the boys and girls 4x800 meter relays. Other individual winners included Enoru in the 400 meters, Williams in the 300 meter hurdles, Allison Diaz in the 800 meters, Sanjog Sooch in the 800 meters, Jakob Zimmerman in the discus throw and Aiden Donaville in the high jump.
Other notable performances during the season included Vanessa Maldonado setting a new school record in the pole vault and the boys 4x1600 meter relay team also setting a new program standard.
