That school’s record book would look a lot different if True, Curtis and Engelhardt would have finished their high school careers running for the school.
If JSerra recruits, then they should be penalized for doing such as sh!t show of a job doing that. Looking at their boys roster from the past two years they've never even fielded both a varsity team and lower level team. Stupid accusation!
Yeah it’s a little odd that a team that constantly places high at state can’t get a lot of people to join
Sadly, Zang's injury does not surprise many. Her massive, sudden progression and transformation since running an 11:02 2 miles and 17:33 5k last June is unlike anything the sport has witnessed, and she's been very open about her struggles. Huge props to her for owning it, and prayers for a quick and full recovery. She's quite a personality for the sport, and clearly has amazing talent.

So how did Zang in just a few months have a "transformation unlike anything the sport has witnessed" when even mega stars like Tuohy, Englehardt, Leachman, etc. couldn't improve that fast?
I think long term CIF will need to address this issue of disqualifying HS runners who run against college of pro athletes.
CIF rule 600 allows high school runners to compete against college and professionals. There are rules they have to follow in order to maintain high school eligibility.

Zang actually ran a sub-17 5k a couple of times during XC 2024

Does CIF allow kids to run the distances in super shoes? Am seeing so many girls in California racing the 3200m in illegal super shoes.. most of the country is out of them, but I note tons of wearing in CA and FL.

Seems there are different rules for running unattached youth/HS/open meets vs intercollegiate competition.
BYLAW 215.
A student who participates in an intercollegiate athletic contest prior to the completion of his/her eight (8) consecutive semesters of high school eligibility shall be ineligible for high school participation in that sport for the duration of the student’s high school enrollment. (See also Bylaws 600.G and 702. and corresponding Q&A’s.) (Approved February 2003 Federated Council)

If you forced all collegiate competitors to run unattached, would the highschooler be allowed to run then?
