All she did was dominate the cross-country season, and on Saturday Christine Babcock of Woodbridge continued her domination of track with meet-record performances in the 1,600 and 3,200 meters at the Orange County Championships.

Babcock, a Woodbridge senior, peeled nearly three seconds off her previous record in the 1,600 with a time of 4:45.96, and came back in the 3200 and clocked 10:19.98, which was five seconds better than the 10:25.04 standard set by Annie St. Geme of Corona del Mar in 2006.

Others who won twice were Sina Dailey of Mission Viejo in the discus and the shot put, and Kandyce Doxey of Cypress in the 100 and 200 meters.
