The final high school track and field season for California state 100-meters record holder Rodrick Pleasant of Gardena Serra has begun. Whenever he steps into the starting blocks this spring, people will pay attention. He made an appearance Saturday at the Pasadena Games at South Pasadena, running the anchor leg for Serra's 400-meter relay team, then cruising to a winning time of 21.88 seconds in his first outdoors 200. He and his classmate, Brazil Neal, both defending state champions in the 200 and each headed to Oregon, took a moment to pose and show off an "O" sign before winning their races.
