Sierra High’s girls track and field team is repeating as Valley Oak League champion, but this time it won’t have to share it.

The Timberwolves rambled past visiting Weston Ranch 122-6 in the regular-season finale Wednesday at Daniel Teicheira Memorial Stadium. Sierra’s boys wrapped up a title share with a 75-47 win. 

Oakdale’s girls settled for second place and does not get at least a piece of the crown for the first time in over a decade. The Timberwolves edged out the Mustangs 70.5-65.5 last month, getting the advantage on the final event of the meet.

Sierra took advantage of its superior depth to rest athletes and move them to different events. Jasmin Correa highlighted the girls with wins in the 100- and 200-meter dashes, while Nick Stanley took first in the boys 110 hurdles and 300 hurdles. 

The Timberwolves’ boys team put itself in position to take at least a share of the championship last week with a narrow 68-66 win at Kimball.

Sierra also won at the frosh-soph boys and girls levels. Eric Lopez won both sprint events to lead the boys to a 63-31 victory, while Abida Ali claimed the shot put and discus to help the girls prevail, 47-24/

Sierra will host the VOL Championships next Friday, May 4.
