Regional championship meets Saturday (May 10) at Riverside City College in the south and De Anza College in Cupertino in the north will determine the finalists for the 2014 California Community College Athletic Association Track & Field Championships at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, May 16-17.

Kemarley Brown of Oakland's Merritt College is expected to be one of the headliners. At the Mt. SAC Relays last month he ran the 100 meters in 10.13 seconds, seventh fastest time in the world for 2014 at that point, and also clocked 20.38 in the 200 meters. Just'n Thymes of Riverside has run 10.18 and 20.42 this season to lead Southern California.

Some U.S. JC/CC leaders competing in the regional meets include:

Yesenia Silva of Sequoias in the women's 1,500 meters, 4:32.08 (also No. 2 in the 5K at 17:08.52);

Jacklyn Chasteler of Saddleback in the women's hammer throw, 188-1;

Taylor Coffeit of Riverside in the women's javelin throw, 145-4;

Patrick Geers of Saddleback in the men's hammer throw, 202-0;

Gabriel Vargas of Riverside in the men's shot put, 57-7 (also ranks No. 2 in the discus throw, 178-3).

Saturday's Northern California meet gets underway at 10 a.m. with field events (men's pole vault, hammer throw and long jump; women's long jump and shot put). Running events begin at 1 p.m. with the steeplechase races. The 4x100 meter relays get underway at 2 p.m.

Southern California field event finals begin at 9 a.m. with the women's hammer throw, followed at 10 a.m. by the men's pole vault and women's high jump. Running events begin at 1 p.m. with the steeplechase races. The 4 x 100 meter relays start at 1:50 p.m.

Note: Southern California finals in the shot put and javelin throw were scheduled for Friday afternoon, May 9, at Riverside. All field events in the Northern California meet are being contested on Saturday.

The top six finishers in field events and longer races qualify for the state finals (if they have met the state standard).

For races run in lanes (up to the 800 meters) and all relays, the top four qualify -- plus the fastest fifth placer from either region.

Championship meet entries have already been determined for the combined events (women's heptathlon and men's decathlon) and the 10,000 meter races. The state leaders in those events are Jasmine Hall of College of the Canyons in the heptathlon, with 5,243 points (also the national leader); Phillip Bailey of Riverside in the decathlon, with 6,762 points; Laura Aceves of East Los Angeles in the women's 10K, 36:57.81; and Will Reyes of American River in the men's 10K, 29:52.50. Reyes is the national leader in both the 10K and 5k (14:27.00).
