“Only the strong survive”. That is probably one of the most commonly used slogans when referring to the best of the best in the sports world. “Only the strong survive”. That statement couldn’t be more fitting to describe the high school athletes scheduled to compete in the CIF State prelims and finals scheduled for June 4-5 at Clovis Buchanan High School..

Olympic gold medalist Maurice Greene was a spectator in the crowd during the CIF Finals at Cerritos College to check out some of the top high school track and field talent in the state of California. Greene, who has a number of Olympic gold medals and World Championship gold medals, is shown above with a big fan and Riverside native Jaiven Taylor.
