wasplentygoodenoughfor a second fist-place medal around her neck. Thayer said the shot put win helped her nerves come the discus, but learning to breath and feeling more con- fident was something she has been working on since her sophomore year. Thayer is headed to the University of California, Santa Barbara where she will continue her career in discus and shot put. First however she'll make a trip to the State Finals next weekend in Fresno. "I'm ready to compete with the big girls," she said. UnfortunatelyThayerwill be taking the trip alone. No other Red Bluff ath- letes managed to win their event Friday, the only sure fire way to qualify for the state championships. Red Bluff came in as de- fending champions in three out of the four relay events and had shots to win, but came up just short each time. Both the boys and girls 4x400 relay teams lost last lap leads. Enterprise came from behind to prevent the Spar- tans boys from repeating in the 4x400. Chico was too strong for the boys 4x100 team as Red Bluff finished second in that race as well. Adrienne Hinkston started the final lap for the Lady Spartans in the 4x400 behindWestValley'srunner. Shehadremarkablytaken the lead back by the first straightaway, but perhaps used up too much energy as West Valley surged by dur- ing the final 100 meters. TheLadySpartansplaced third in the 4x100 behind Chico and Orland. Hinkston also took a sec- ond place in the 400 meters as Winters' Sofia Evanoff won her third straight sec- tion title in the event at 25.45 seconds. Hinkston had won the event as a freshman, then finished behind Evanoff her final three years. Evanoff also won the 200 meters, which Red Bluff's Daisy Brose finished fourth in, to earn her own individ- ual trip to the podium. Red Bluff's other athlete incompetitionmaybeableto learn a lesson from Thayer. Jenny Weightman com- peted as a freshman in the girls high jump and long jump. She tied for third in the high jump at 4 feet, 8 inches, but it was beyond her best effort as most of the girls in the event struggled with the big stage. Like Thayer she'll have a fewmoreyearstolearnwhat it takes to win at the section championships and will be a favorite moving forward. Corning's Ivan Alvarado had a busy day competing in the boys long jump as well as the 100 and 200 meters. He earned two medals, but the first came almost as a disappointment. Alvarado had an early leap of 21 feet, 8.5 inches to put him in contention for the title. But as the jumps went by, he ended up in a tie for sec- ond and lost the tiebreaker toFallRiver'sMichaelWest- lundbasedontheirnextbest jump. Westlund had beaten him by an inch. As had the eventual win- ner of the title, West Valley's Marcus Simmons. Alvardo went on to place sixth in the 100 meters and earned a medal with a third place finish in the 200 me- ters. Both of those events were won by Mt. Shasta's Eli Chapman. At least Alvarado can say he lost to the best. Simmons and Chapman ended up in a tie for the Bob Russell Award for most out- standing male athlete at the championships. West Valley's Kristina Freitas won the lady's honor. Alvarado said he was dis- appointed in the long jump finish, having expected that he could have won the title. He said the 100 meters field was filled with great athletes. It was, and it was an ac- complishmentjusttoqualify. Corning got one more po- dium finish from Thomas Lowe, who placed fifth in the boys shot put. West Valley won both the boys and girls section team titles. Corning and Red Bluff were among a tie for seventh place with 16 points. The Lady Eagles scored 70 points. Yreka was second with 53 points. TheLadySpartansplaced third with 51 points. The West Valley boys had 76.5 points to edge Enter- prise with 72 points. Chico was third with 55.5 points.

"We're trying to bust through the ceiling. I look at the team and I feel like I have what I need from a team standpoint to get all the way there," Woodson said. "Now, does that hap- pen? Nobody knows until that time comes, but we've got players in there. If we all focus in, all our goals at the end of the season will be there." The Raiders brought in most of those newcomers on defense before making the decision to bring back Woodson on another one- year deal. Woodson didn't talk to other teams in the hope of returning to Oak- land but acknowledged he wasn't sure it would actu- ally happen. "I wanted to get some- thing done right away," he said. "Every team has pri- orities and I respect what they did in the offseason and the moves they made prior to me signing again. I was getting a little bit ner- vous sitting at home trying to figure out what was going to happen. The reality was if it didn't happen here that could have been it." Raiders FROM PAGE 1 By Chris Lehourites The Associated Press PARIS For the first time in his career, Rafael Nadal will makeafifthstraightappear- ance in the French Open quarterfinals. Nadal won a record 32nd straight match at Roland Garros on Monday, beating Dusan Lajovic of Serbia 6-1, 6-2, 6-1 to improve on his own record by one. Nadal is an eight-time French Open champion with a 63-1 record on the red clay in Paris. His only loss came in the fourth round in 2009, when he was a four-time de- fending champion for the first time. Another upset never seemed possible this time, despite complaints of pain in his back that slowed his servesinthepreviousround. "I don't want to talk too much about this thing to- day," Nadal said of his injury. "I have important match to come.TodayIwonamatchin good shape. We'll see what's going on in the future." The top-seeded Span- iard controlled the match from the start. He then won 17 straight points to open the second set, taking a 4-0 lead before finally sending a backhandwidetomakeit15- 15 in the fifth game. Later in that set, Lajovic held three break points at 0-40, but Nadal saved them all and held. It wasn't until late in the third, with the match far out of reach, that Lajovic did manage a break — the only game he won in the final set. "Iplayedwithnomistakes and having the control with the backhand, with the fore- hand from the baseline," Nadal said. "Sure, you never know what's better, but in theory, the theory says that it's better win like this than win longer matches." Nadal will next face fifth- seeded David Ferrer, the man he beat in last year's French Open final. Ferrer defeated 19th-seeded Kevin Anderson of South Africa 6-3, 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-1. Also Monday, Andy Mur- ray defeated Fernando Ver- dasco of Spain 6-4, 7-5, 7-6 (3) and will next face Gael Monfils in the quarterfinals. Monfils advanced by beat- ing Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 6-0, 6-2, 7-5. In the women's tourna- ment, fourth-seeded Si- mona Halep of Romania beat Sloane Stephens of the United States 6-4, 6-3, and 2009 French Open cham- pion Svetlana Kuznetsova defeated Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic 6-3, 6-4.
