Sophomore Warrior Gabrielle Scott qualified for the California State Track and Field Championships next week by finishing with a time of 55.02 in the 400 meter dash under cool, cloudy skies Friday evening at the CIF Southern Section Masters Qualifying Meet at Cerritos College.  Watch the video of her race.  

To qualify for the state meet, Southern Section competitors must finish in the top five of their respective races or equal/break a meet at-large qualifying standard.  For the 400 meters, Gabrielle qualified by finishing fifth in her race and also by breaking the at-large mark of 56.24.  Given the competitiveness of the 400 meters at the state and Southern California level, all nine runners in Scott's race qualified for the state meet.  Check out the Masters results at DyeStatCal.com.
