The Covina senior became the second sprinter in state-meet history to double in the 100 and 200 for two consecutive years. Randall Carroll (Cathedral-Los Angeles) accomplished the same feat in 2008-2009.
McClain matched the feat without much trouble, breezing to wins in the 10.39 and 20.95, well off his bests of 10.31 and 20.68. He wasn't pushed in either race and the wet track didn't help.
"I knew it was historic," McClain said. "But not
that historic."
McClain was flawless and workmanlike throughout the weekend, and wasn't challenged once.
"I got out of the blocks well (all weekend)," he said. "It feels great, like all the hard work paid off."
Challenged by learning disability, McClain will attend NAIA power Azusa-Pacific College next season.
"I've had a really good high school career," he said. "I've had a lot of people – friends and family – really support me. I couldn't have done it without them."
