This sprinting experiment for St. Joseph/s Alyssa Agin, Knights coach Greg Sarkisian said, is over.

Sarkisian declared this after St. Joseph/s boys and girls squads defeated Nipomo 102-34 and 84-51 respectively in Los Padres League meets at Righetti/s Warrior Stadium Wednesday.

The meet was the final dual one for the teams before the LPL Preliminaries at Morro Bay Saturday. St. Joseph/s boys finished the LPL dual season 6-0.

Agin has been wracking up victories in the 100 and 200 meters. "We ran her in the 400 (Wednesday)," Sarkisian said. "We wanted to see if you could run both the 400 and 100 at the league meet.

"You can/t. Alyssa/s 400 and 100 were 10 minutes apart," Wednesday.

"We/ll put her in the 100 and 200 and stick with that," in the league meet, Sarkisian said. "She/s earned that. She/s been the top dog."

Agin won the 400 in 1:03.3 Wednesday. Jenna Webb of Nipomo, who is one of the league/s top girls sprinters, took the 100 in 13.3. Agin came from behind to win the 200 in 28.3.

Softball

RHS wraps up playoff spot

Righetti/s softball team is the first Santa Maria Valley prep squad to clinch a berth in the 2004 spring playoffs.

The Warriors are in second place at 6-2 in the PAC-5 League with four league games left. Fourth place Atascadero is 2-6 after losing 1-0 to Arroyo Grande Wednesday.

The top three teams are guaranteed playoff berths, and the Greyhounds cannot catch the Warriors since Righetti beat Atascadero the first two games of the teams/ three-game season series.

San Luis Obispo leads the PAC-5 pack at 8-0.

No game for SJ

The Knights/ players and coaches spent part of their Wednesday afternoon at the Hagerman Softball Complex waiting for a game that was not to be.

Mission Prep of San Luis Obispo, St. Joseph/s scheduled non-league opponent, never made the trip south.

"One of the umpires called their athletic director," said St. Joseph assistant coach Ang Guerrero, who is coach Greg Guerrero/s daughter. "It was on everybody/s schedule, but their athletic director said it wasn/t on their schedule."

St. Joseph hosts Los Padres League front-runner Cabrillo at 4 p.m. Friday at Hagerman in a league game.
