Berths at the 2011 CIF State Track and Field Championships will be at stake when 14 local athletes and two relay teams take part in the Central Coast Section finals on Friday at Gilroy High. The top three finishers in each event will advance to the state meet next weekend (June 3-4) at Buchanan High in Clovis.
The girls' pole vault gets the section finals under way at 4 p.m. Gunn senior Erin Robinson (3,200), junior Kieran Gallagher (800) and Palo Alto senior Maurice Williams (triple jump) all qualified for the state meet last season.
