As expected, the best races Saturday at the Pasadena Games were the shortest.

Charles Saseun of Rancho Cucamonga, the state runner-up in the boys’ 100 meters last June, stepped into the blocks against third-place finisher Randall Carroll of Los Angeles Cathedral at Pasadena City College, and Saseun must’ve blinked because Carroll beat him out of the blocks, according to this in-depth report on the meet.

Saseun was able to close the gap, but Carroll still won in 10.70 seconds. Saseun finished second in 10.77.

These two are only juniors, so this rivalry still has plenty of legs.
