CIF state track and field: Pittsburg athletes win two state titles


When the curtain closed Saturday night at the California Interscholastic Federation state track and field championships in Clovis, four individuals and one relay team stood tallest among Bay Area News Group athletes.

Pittsburg’s 4×100 relay team of Jamar Searcy, Michael Stallworth, La’Rico Tezeno and Tim Edwards opened the meet with a sizzling sprint around the Veterans Memorial Stadium track, posting a time of 40.77 to edge Long Beach Poly by three-tenths of a second.

The East Bay school wasn’t done.

Later, Jathiyah Muhammad captured Pittsburg’s second state title, winning the girls pole vault in 13 feet, 9 inches.

Muhammad’s brother, Khaliq, took second in the boys pole vault with a mark of 16-4, which was four inches behind winner Kai Anderson of University City.

Acalanes’ Trevor Rogers leaped 24-3 ¾ to capture the long jump one year after placing fourth in the event.

The Cal-bound two-sport standout, who helped Acalanes win a state football title in December, edged Wilcox’s Tyson Bonilla, who took second in 24-1.

Campolindo’s Pinkie Schnayer also stood atop the medal stand after she finished first in the shot put in 47-3 ¾. Aja Johnson of Notre Dame-Sherman Oaks was second in 46-8 ¾.

Bishop O’Dowd’s Brandon Rush celebrated a state championship in the triple jump after he posted a mark of 47-5. He went 48-1 ¼ in Friday’s trials, which ranked second heading into Saturday’s finals.

Pittsburg father killed in hit-and-run crash after leaving church

Pittsburg father killed in hit-and-run crash after leaving church


A father of two was fatally struck while walking home from church in Pittsburg on Friday night.

Advertisement

Police said they received a call about 9:15 p.m. about a crash in the 1500 block of Willow Pass Road and when officers arrived they found Joaquin Reveulta Galvez in the middle of the street.

Revuelta Galvez was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead a few hours later.

“There was some vehicle debris and the lone victim and that was the extent of the scene,” Cpt. Philip Galer said, adding that there was a headlight of a vehicle also there at the crash site.

Advertisement

In a news release, police said the entire crash was captured on surveillance video.

Revuelta Galvez’s family said investigators told them that he appeared to stumble and fall to the ground before the vehicle hit him.

Advertisement

“He was wearing sandals, and then he fell and landed in the street and a car ran over him,” said his partner Maribel Macias. The couple have two grown sons, and Macias said the young men were close with their father.

Macias said the family didn’t know about the crash until one of them noticed the emergency responders and police vehicles around the corner from the mobile home park where they live.

Now, during the holidays, she and her sons are grieving for Revuelta Galvez.

Advertisement

They said Revuelta Galvez had already been through so much. He had been recovering from brain surgery last year, but despite his health problems, he was a friendly neighbor and loving father with a good heart.

A relative said they saw him at the Sovereign Shepherd Church just a half hour before the crash, and he had bought some pupusas to bring back home.

Advertisement

His family wonders how someone could drive away and leave him there.

“If they had called 9-1-1… he would be alive right now. We don’t know how long he was on the ground bleeding, dying,” Macias said.

A relative set up a GoFundMe page to help the family pay for burial and funeral expenses.

Galer said investigators are withholding details from the surveillance footage to protect the investigation.

He said they do have leads on the vehicle that struck Revuelta Galvez.

Anyone with information on the hit-and-run crash is asked to contact Pittsburg police at (925) 646-2442 or contact Officer James Pena at (925) 252-4146.

Steelers Have Weekly Plans for Justin Fields

Steelers Have Weekly Plans for Justin Fields


The Pittsburgh Steelers have put their plan to increase quarterback Justin Fields’ involvement in motion, though it’s not yet a completely ironed-out component of the offense.

Per the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo, Fields stated that the Steelers have a package in place for him every week, though it isn’t always clear how or when he’ll be utilized.

“I have a set package each and every week,” Fields said. “I think the play-calling is random to be honest with you. It’s kind of a feel thing with Arthur [Smith]. How I’m going to be used is a question for him honestly.”

After logging three snaps and rushing for 17 yards in Pittsburgh’s Week 11 win over the Baltimore Ravens, Fields saw his reps more than doubled to seven in a Week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns.

The highlight of the 25-year-old’s day was a 30-yard run in the fourth quarter that advanced the Steelers into Cleveland territory, with the drive resulting in a Jaylen Warren touchdown. Fields’ two other attempts on the ground went for a combined -4 yards.

Pittsburgh also put their trust in him through the air on a 3rd-and-4 play while up 19-18 with 3:34 left in the contest. On his first throw since Week 6, Fields targeted George Pickens down the field but couldn’t complete the connection, which brought on the punt unit.

The Browns scored on their ensuing possession before thwarting the Steelers’ final scoring attempt of the night to clinch the victory.

Russell Wilson, who went 21-for-28 with 270 yards and a touchdown, also shared his uncertainty as to how and when Fields would be inserted into games moving forward.

“I don’t know when it’s going to happen,” Wilson said. “Whenever it does, all I want us to do is win. When Justin gets in there I’m rooting for Justin to do great and make a big play. When I go back in, it’s vice versa. We’re always rooting for each other.”

The Steelers haven’t been quiet about their intentions to continue featuring Fields. While things didn’t shake their way against the Browns as they perfect those arrangements, it’s fair to assume they’ll continue to ramp up his participation as the season continues on.
