The competition at the California Community College State Track and Field Finals last Saturday was more fierce than expected. Four events produced the fastest times in the nation this year. Santa Monica College's Toya Johnson was up against the best of the best in the 400-meters. He managed to place fifth, with his personal record of 47.84 seconds. The winner, Akeem Alexander of College of the Sequoias, clocked in at 45.71, the fastest time in the nation this year. He and his teammate Miguel Barton repeated their 1-2 victory from last year's State Finals, along with another teammate Michael Taylor finishing third, for a top three sweep in the 400-meters. Despite finishing fifth, Johnson was still satisfied and proud of his accomplishment.
