Three high school track athletes were hanging out together during the Santa Barbara County Championships. Anthony Manahan, Michael Powers, and Kiasa Salgado had finished one-two-three in the varsity 400-meter run.

Salgado was asked about his unusual first name.

“It’s Kenyan,” he said. “It means ‘One who stands on his own.’”
