Also wonder what happened to Sidi Njie. Was in the lead for ~250 in the 400M and came at 200 at around 21, so he was definitely on 45 pace, then completely faded the homestretch
i got him at 20.8 through 200 which would be a near-PR for him so he probably just went out too fast.
Where the hell was Ricks? Injured again? Bruh, he literally ran a leg for Poly last night, was entered for the 4/8 double, then vanished again
seems like he scratched pretty early on because there were alternates in the 400/800 in his place.
however, he anchored the poly 4x400 to a win in the seeded section tonight. 47.5 split. keep in mind that this is his first race back since his injury at nike indoor nationals.
it’s unfortunate. poly entered the season with one of the strongest teams in not just CA, but the country, with a shot at a number of record. unfortunately almost all of their A team guys went down with bad injuries at the start of the season so they are slowly climbing their way back up.

Interesting. However that seems to be pretty common with Poly. They have standout athletes every year that just vanish without a trace at some point.
Really hoping the same thing doesn't happen to Ricks, but it's not looking good at this point

Makes sense, I thought the same, he looked really strong but just seemed to die towards the end
Anthony Fasthorse AND Chase Pack (American Fork) will be in this meet
Hopefully they will be in the same race, with Fasthorse in first and Chase Pack in second with a lap to go. I would really like to hear the announcer call that final lap.
Invitational 3200 Anthony FastHorse - 8:45. Chase Pack was not in this race but 3 of his teammates were (2 of which he beat multiple times during cross)
I see folks are sleeping on Noonan again. He looked dangerous in Stanford's 4:06 and comfortable in his 1:54 after mishandling the indoor curves in his 5k season opener. I'm predicting an 8:38 for him on Saturday.
"Evan Noonan is my pick to win nxn. Don't sleep on him! Evan Noonan is my pick to win Arcadia 3200. Don't sleep on him!". What next? He is very fast but what indicates he is top ~5 in country level?

And what indicates that California can handle the NXN conditions as good as or better than the other regions?

The 800 leg for Newport Harbor was insane though. She outkicked everyone and put the team in good position
She’s a sophomore and it looks like it’s the first time she ever ran the 800. Her split was 2:12. She’s actually a 5’5” high jumper and a good hurdler. Top 10 in California in both. And it looks like a good soccer player. She plays for a team in ECNL- the highest club competition. Basically the show case league for college.
She’s the type of runner that seems to have unlimited potential.

Several sub-14 clockings in Cross Country, a top-tier time at Woodward Park, 8:49 as a sophomore, great team/coaching.

I didn't state Noonan would win Arcadia. I think he has an 8:38 in him this season; he didn't have it at Arcadia, am I'm willing to eat the egg in my face. Not a biggie.
