Runners (top) break from the blocks during the 100-meter dash on Wednesday afternoon during the annual Lake County Meet at Clear Lake High School in Lakeport. Junior varsity pole vaulter Quintin Scott (above) clears the bar at 6 feet, 6 inches, the winning height, to provide the Cardinals with one of their first-place finishes on the day. Middletown’s Meghan Carlisle (at right) crosses the finish line well ahead of the field in the 400 meters. Carlisle had a big day for the Mustangs, who won the team title, with two firsts and two seconds. Upper Lake’s Amber Drake comes in for a landing during the long jump. Drake won the 100 and 200 for the Cougars. Lower Lake’s Mary Jones (bottom) prepares to throw the shotput. Along with the Middletown girls, team winners were the Middletown varsity boys
