San Gabriel Valley Boys Athlete of the Week

Name: Dario Rock

School: St. Francis

Sport: Track

 
Year: Senior

Noteworthy: Rock will be among the favorites Saturday in the 110-meter hurdles at the Masters Meet at Moorpark High School. Masters is the qualifier for next week’s CIF State Track and Field Championships. This past weekend, Rock won the CIF-SS Division 3 title in the 110 hurdles in 14.54 seconds. His personal best time is 14.49. “It felt OK,” Rock said of his win. “I felt like I had more in the tank. I hit a few hurdles and it felt like a dirty race for me. That’s not like me, since usually I have a pretty clean race. But it was good I was able to win. My parents were CIF champs back in the day, and it feels good to carry on the family legacy.”
