Dalton scored 4, 799 points at the Mt. San Antonio College Combined Events Challenge over the weekend, eclipsing the former record of 4,499 that was set in the state championships in 2006 by Jacqueline Taylor.

Also participating was Dalton’s teammate, sophomore Angel Sifuentes, who came in second place in the event with 3,960 points.

Hello everybody, My name is Jonathan Garza. I am a second-term online editor of the Talon Marks brand for the fall 2013 semester. Former titles I have held at Talon Marks include: associate sports editor, co-sports, sports, managing and online.

My hobbies include: Bowling, Hiking, Basketball, Video Games and Writing, among other things. I am a lover of all sports and an especially big fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers, UCLA Athletics, Los Angeles Lakers and Peyton Manning (currently of the Denver Broncos). My goal is for my website, which stands for West Coast Bias Sports, to become a household name, and to see it become a reputable brand. I'd also love to work for ESPN some day covering all types of sports, and sharing my love for them with the world.
