Following her fourth victory in as many races Thursday at the Tri-Valley League meet at Malibu High, Oak Park junior Melissa Skiba remained the top-ranked runner in Div. III, according to the Dyestatcal.com state individual rankings compiled by Doug Speck and Mike Kennedy.

Skiba also boasts victories in the junior class race Sept. 12 at the Seaside Invitational, Sept. 17 at the Oak Park Invitational and Sept. 27 in the Div. III race at the Stanford Invitational.

La Reina of Thousand Oaks junior Sarah Pearson, once the top-ranked runner in Div. IV, is No. 6 and Paraclete of Lancaster sophomore Melissa Bauer is No. 9.

Following a victory Saturday at the Staub/Barnes Invitational at Crescenta Valley Park, Crescenta Valley senior Zack Torres remained the top-ranked runner in the state according to the Dyestatcal.com individual rankings compiled by editor Rich Gonzalez.

Torres took second Sept. 20 in the boys' sweepstakes race at the Woodbridge Classic and has since followed that performance with victories at the first Pacific League meet Sept. 23 and again Saturday on his home course.

Lancaster's Pedro Zaragoza is fifth in Div. I.

After strong performances Saturday, Camarillo sophomore Heyden Wooff and Saugus junior Alec Nelson are ranked fifth and sixth in the Div. II state rankings, with Loyola of Los Angeles' Elias Gedyon still holding on to the top spot.

Wooff and Nelson finished second and third behind Torres at the Staub/Barnes meet.

Just gave Larry Drew, Jr. a holler, and the former Taft High kid is doing great as a freshman at North Carolina -- though the basketball wunderkind concedes he misses Los Angeles.

"Oh I've course I miss L.A. It was my home," Drew said. "But it's really nice out here in North
Carolina. The gym is nice, the arena is nice. And it's 7 to 1 girls' ratio,"

Not that Drew has had much time to chill because even though it's not basketball season, the sports consumes him "24 hours day" -- including daily four-hour conditioning workouts the likes of which he has never seen.

"We do a lot of conditioning and a lot of lifting weights -- a lot," Drew said.

Meanwhile, Drew just might have a chace to play significant minutes or even break into the starting lineup.

"That's the plan. Whoever gets the job done will be playing," Drew said.

Marti Sementelli, a sophomore baseball player at Burbank High, pitched a no-hitter Sunday to lead a team from New England to a 3-0 victory to win the women's national baseball championship in Tucson. The 5-foot-2 right-hander allowed three hits and struck out nine in seven innings.

Not typically known as a hotbed of talent, the Antelope Valley will have two intriguing players in 2008-2009.

Highland of Palmdale has received transfer Devin Bray from Koutze High in Texas. Bray moved in the summer from his mothers house in Texas to live with his father.

"He will average 20 points a game," Highland coach Jeff Smith said. "Devin is a huge addition because we lost almost everybody to graduation."

Another player turning heads in the desert is 6'6 freshman Kayvon Washington. Washington is at Lancaster High and was a middle-school standout at Park View Junior High last year.

"I heard a lot about him but he went to school on the other side of town so I knew we weren't going to get him," Smith said. "I hear he is a good one. A lot of my older guys know who he is."

It will be fun to see which Western Division teams can remain undeated. Five of the top eight in this week's Southern Section poll have not lost a game -- No. 1 Alemamy (4-0), No. 2 Santa Monica (4-0), No. 5 St. Francis (4-0), No. 7 Paramount and No. 8 Lynwood (3-0-1).

Wow, the wizard Erik Boal set a Daily News pronog record by going 40-3 this past weekend, measuring in at 93 percent -- rather amazing for a 43-game slate. He has taken over the No. 1 spot by two games (over yours truly) --- but hey, it's still early ...
