Gardena Serra High's Rodrick Pleasant ran the 100 meters in 10.40 seconds during his first sprint of the season at the Trabuco Hills Invitational.
As the clock struck 1:15 p.m. and the kid with the Superman on his chest lined up in the blocks, his peers swarmed over from the rest areas at Trabuco Hills High, the once-packed green of the football field suddenly empty.
Pleasant pulled away in the final stretch to finish in 10.40, tying the Trabuco Hills meet record held by Anaheim Servite’s Max Thomas and good for the second-fastest time in the nation in the spring track season. Considering his season preparation got pushed back considerably in the midst of a February commitment decision, the performance offered a tantalizing glimpse of the heights Pleasant could reach before he heads to Oregon.The late start, Pleasant said, was “frustrating.
“I expected him to be way out there,” Bragg said of Pleasant, “but I kept up with him, so I was happy with that.” Neal, the state champion in the 200 meters last season, gave Serra both 100-meter dash titles with a first-place mark of 11.83 at Trabuco Hills.“We’ve always been in it together … being with him for four years and then going to be together for another four years,” Neal said of Pleasant, “it’s like, ‘Oh yeah, that’s my boy.’”The Castaic junior has always been known, she said, as a leaper.
