South Coast Finishes With 7 State Titles In 2026-27 Sports Season

With Mt. San Antonio College winning both the men's and women's titles at the 3C2A State Track and Field Championships held Friday-Saturday, the South Coast Conference collected seven state crowns overall in the 2025-26 sports season.

Mt. SAC won four of those, also in women's cross country and men's swimming, Long Beach won two in women's water polo and women's swimming and Cerritos won the men's soccer title. Four of the state championships were captured this month as the all-time conference title count reached 252--129 in women's sports and 123 in men.

Competing on their state-of-the-art track at Hilmer Lodge Stadium, the Mounties collected double state titles in track and field for the fourth time in the last five years, missing out only last year for both championships.

The Mt. SAC men scored 144 points for first place, a whopping 56 more than second-place San Diego Mesa (88) while Riverside City was third with 61.

The Mounties were led by State Field Athlete of the Meet in Myles Massie, who had an electrifying, state-leading, 25-foot even leap on the final attempt of the event to beat Saddleback's Isaiah Williams (24-1) for the long jump gold. Massie also won the triple jump at 51-feet even as the top three finishers all came from Mt. SAC.

The State Men's Track Athlete of the Meet went to the Mounties' Diego Varela, who faced a season-best 14:45.68 to win the 5,000 meters after crossing the line first in the 10,000 on Friday. Another state-2026 leading performance was turned in by Mt. SAC's Marques Guzman who won the 200 meters in 20.78 seconds. Mountie Anik Singh won the high jump in 6-8.75.

Cerritos scored individual first-place medals from Juan Flores in the 3,000 steeplechase and Axel Rebolledo-Ynostros in the 800. LA Harbor's Sebastian Skarr led for most of the 800 but settled for fourth.
