Who ya got? Matt Strangio just led an 8:47 from the gun While Nico Young has already run an 8:13 300m and 3:48 1500m
Yes NXN champ Liam Anderson will most likely be in the race, but he just started his season yesterday, and while I'm sure he'll be in shape he always saves his peak form for State/Nationals. Will we see Strangio or Nico Young scare 8:40? Could Liam Anderson win? or will he wait to thrash them at state?
Should be an awesome race! Not sure who from out of state will be running, but I'm sure there will be a few that should contend.
Strangio led that race from first to last and also obviously has run his best late in the season. I wouldn't count Anderson out and Young is still a bit of an unknown quantity in track, with a pretty short history of elite performances (but seems to be on fire as of late).
However, it would be far from a shock to see a non Californian win. It will be a much more interesting conversation when the entries are announced.
Where was Young's 8:13?
Cole Sprout just ran a 4:06 mile and has an 8:49 full 2 mile from last year so he's in contention for the win.

His coach paced him in a college meet/time trial.
Wow, Alberto should learn from this. He should have paced Kejecha HIMSELF!

I saw the live feed of this race, his coach only went 1200m. He was completely alone after that. A friend of his coach told me Young was running the Mile at Arcadia. Not sure if anyone knows if this is true.
I HOPE THEY PUT HIM IN THE 3200M

Me too!!! It would be great to see him in a High School race against High School kids without a rabbit. I think he'll crush it. Not sure why his coach would need to go 1200m at all. He's not the first fast kid in CA. Just let the kid run some actual races!!!
