Morales from sub 1:50 to 1;57 is a bit of a red flag though. That's no workout or training through. That's a problem. IMHO.

Uh oh. Looks like yet another young phenom peaking too early. Chances are he never runs that time again.
Happens every time, I called this from the moment he ran this time in February lmao

Hanne Thomsen has been noticeably absent this season. She was , but didn't run there. She wasn't at Arcadia. Her school's home invitational, Viking Classic, is this Saturday (Apr 20). .
She does have 1600, 3200 results for a Mar 27 dual meet. Maybe she's focused on CIF and national post-season meets? Or nursing an injury?

She also has four "DNS" listed for this season. My guess would be injury.

Some interesting results on the distance side of things.
Robar of Newport Harbor the real deal with the 16/8 double win. Barker in the 1600 “only” 4:55? Gotta imagine her second half of Arcadia 3200 was close to that.
Nice win by Hernandez in the boys 1600. No sign of his teammate Noonan, though?
Morales seemingly going backward in for the second weekend in a row, anyone with insight there?
Wilson leading JSerra onslaught in girls 3200, wonder if more of that squad will jump ship to her coach.
OC Champs has always been a tough meet to get a read on, but this year seems especially murky. Onward to league and the post season death march, I suppose.
How come you didn't put Wilson line in caps? Seems like that was the hook you put the bait on on this whole post.
Just trying to stir the pot, friend. Figured with a couple JSerra shots and a Noonan call out that’d get things going, but alas, we’ve returned to a stream of links to Finished Results dual meet results.
How bout Mt Sac, looks like a good boys mile field.

Because she peaked too soon during her freshman/sophomore years, like most young HS prodigies

Anyone got any updates from Xai Ricks as well? Ambodai Ligons?
Ricks has also been noticeably absent. Was set to run the 400 and 800 at Arcadia, but proceeded to only show up in relays. I know he's injured and all, but he's racing the 400 at Mt. Sac on the 20th (dude. Seriously. Please focus on the damn 800)
Ligons has been getting a second slower each week. Though, he did run an easy 1:55 in his league prelims, so I hope that's a good sign.

Luke Friedl - 4:18 (10)
Bradley Arrey - 4:19 (11)
Zac O’Leary - 4:29 (9)
JD Ewing - 4:59 (10)
I get that they should probably be higher. But some of their guys only
run 800s, and I am not using that for 2024 XC predictions. Their number 5
is JD Ewing - 4:59, but their number 5 should technically be in the
4:20s.#9 - Great Oak
Jack Paradise - 4:19 (11)
Jacob Brown - 4:21 (11)
Westin Brown 4:26 (11)
Marco Franco - 9:53 (10)

I get that they barely raced. Westin Brown is coming back. They should move up quite a bit later on in the season.#8 - Hart

Alejandro Cueto - 4:27 (11)
Nicholas Zamora - 9:44 (10)

Isaac Faynsod - 9:33 (11)
Carson Ehman - 9:33 (10)
Krish Desai - 4:26 (10)

Team that usually performs quite well on the track.

Christian Weber - 9:20 (10)
Mason Ngyuen - 4:20 (10)
Aaron Feaster - 4:20 (11)
Ryan Barris - 9:36 (9)
Brandon Boatman - 4:36 (9)
New team on the scene that has immense potential. Keep in mind that one of their top runners isn't show here.
#1 ML King
Maximo Zavaleta - 9:04 (10)
Brayden Lunetta - 4:18 (11)
Logan Carlson - 4:23 (10)
Bradley Quezanda - 4:24 (10)
Alex Wesołowski - 4:25 (11)
The returning team with the best track results is... ML King! 5th runner is at 4:25. This team needs depth though.What about Loyola (SS)? They seem to be solid and have a 4:09 runner to lead the younger guys through track
Aaron Pavon - 4:21 (11)
Ernesto Jalomo - 4:22 (10)
Diego Banegas - 4:28 (11)
Julien Castengier - 4:31 (11)
Noah Cruz - 4:34 (11)
These times are very mediocre and they don't have any impressive 32 times. 4:09 is great though obviously.

No clue on Cathedral but they typically do well at masters and the state meet so I can't say i'm too concerned.
Ricks had an early season injury he picked up at Nike indoor nationals (perhaps a re-occurring one, because he looked different at winter championships from last year) and has been taking a conservative racing schedule as a result. I think the 800 train for him has already passed, given the amount of early-season base training he missed - and I assume he will be focusing on the 200/400 for the rest of the year.
It's unfortunate what happened to the whole long beach poly squad. Their top 3 guys from last year all got injured at the start of the season and just haven't come back the same. They ran 3:12 with a freshman, two sophomores, and a junior. Had everyone come back intact they would have had a real shot at the national record in the 4x400.
Oh well. Let's wait another few years and see who pops up. On the bright side, assuming that 40.29 from Granada Hills was legit, they might have a shot at California's first sub-40.

I think she was just injured. She had a rough cross country season, but still made NXN in a competitive year, so I don't think she's really peaked.

Looks great. Noonan FTW. I'm hoping he can run something fast towards the end of the season - he has been quite inconsistent this track season, compared to his XC season. Maybe he run a 4:02 or something at masters.
Who knows what is happening to Morales. Maybe I spoke too soon about.

I remember we argued back and forth about this before Arcadia. I will concede that I was wrong. Hope Morales transfers somewhere that won't mess up a runner of his caliber.

The Pacific coast league prelims (Woodbridge, Beckman, Portola, etc.)
Some observations:
- ibzan felix went slow for the 1600 but won his 800 in a 1:56
- Aidan Antonio the freshmen ran 4:18.75 for the 1600, setting new fastest freshmen time in the state
-mateo allen-aguirre, a top 800m runner, is racing and ran a 1:57, hopefully it was easy
- Woodbridge sophomore 5th runner goes 10:14 for 32, new 5th for XC
Both Beckman and Woodbridge are looking to have some very strong returning teams for the XC season, both have high talent runners with Woodbridge finally finding a promising 5th runner to keep up
20 -
Woodbridge’s varsity team will have no seniors next year
30 -
Beckman now has 7 nonseniors under 10 for the 3200. Only 2 of them are juniors. 3 of them are freshmen. They also have another freshman at 10:12.

Anyone know what's going on with last year's fastest 1600m freshman, Cameron Yarbrough (4:13.04)?
Someone posted he was out for XC season due to a stress fracture. In track, he was back just in the first week in March and then was gone again, so I thought he was injured again. Now I see him listed as competing in the shot put 2 days ago. If true, that's odd.
