Roundup: Chaminade's Patrick Ize-Iyamu runs state-best 10.56 for 100 meters

From lifting weights to running 400 meters in practices, sprinter Patrick Ize-Iyamu of Chaminade surprised himself on Saturday when he ran a personal-best time of 10.56 for 100 meters at the Simi Valley Invitational in his first race of the season. It's the fastest time in the state.

"I was thinking I was running 10.7 because I haven't done any sprint work," the junior said.

At 6 feet 2 and 196 pounds, when Ize-Iyamu gets rolling down the straightaway, he looks very powerful. He remembers going to the state meet as a freshman and seeing the explosiveness of his competitors, and it motivated him to start lifting weights to get stronger. His previous best time was a wind-aided 10.69.

"I saw how they pushed out of the blocks," he said.

Now Ize-Iyamu will prioritize preparing for next month's Arcadia Invitational at Arcadia High.

Another outstanding individual performance was achieved in the girls' pole vault by Westlake standout Paige Sommers. She cleared 13 feet, 8 inches.

Among other top performances on Saturday, Phillip Jefferson of Long Beach Wilson ran 1:54.86 in the 800 in a dual meet against Paramount. Teammate Aujane Luckey ran 55.57 in the girls' 400.
