Noonan (4:04.02) quietly slips past Mark (4:04.15) and Eric Mastalir (4:04.23) on the CA all-time list, just 0.02 off of Stember's high school best and has a year to go yet. He's dropping the 1600 in favour of the 3200m for both Masters and State, then might pick up some mile races in the post season.
entered in masters mile last time i checked. is he planning on scratching before the race?
Alright, with 10 days left until state, here are my final predictions (and times) for the boys side.
100M - Paul Kuhner 10.3x
200M - Brandon Arrington 20.7x, unless he can step up his game in the 100 because he should be running way faster in that event if he can manage 20.64 right now.
400M - Tough one because they all been kinda on and off (plus Hansen is out apparently), but I'm gonna go with Dylan Ochoa possibly around 46.7x
800M - Ambodai Ligons for sure. I think he'll go under 1:50.
1600M - Fast Horse. Overtook Dybdahl in the mile at SS divisionals and has a slightly better PR this year. It'll be close, but I'll go with him.
3200M - Emmanuel Perez? 👀 unless he scratches are pursues the mile.
4x100M - De La Salle. I know GHC is at 40.29 right now, but I think one of their runners got hurt as they've been running 41-42's recently with a different anchor. De La Salle hasn't changed and they ran 40.8 at SMOC, to follow up with a 41.3 at their league champ.
4x400M - Cathedral, honestly I think they're the most stacked in CA right now. Once they race against the top guys they'll pop off.
4x800M - Idec, who gives a sh!t about this race lol.

100: Benjamin Harris (Yeah, I said it!) 10.4
200: Brandon Arrington 20.5ish (based off his times he should be a low 46 runner, not doing the 100)
400: Ricks 47.3 but this one is honestly a tossup. It's always a battle between someone from Poly or Wilson, someone from norcal, and whoever goes 46 at masters
800: Bodi either 1:49L or 1:52 depending on the weather
1600: Tossup between fasthorse and dybdahl. If the pace is fast then fasthorse, if its a kickers race then dybdahl.
3200: Noonan 8:43 but lets see how everyone looks at masters
4x100: Yeah, looks like their anchor Martin DNF'd at league finals. That is very unfortunate since I think they had a real shot at going under 40. I think De La Salle takes it then, 40.8ish
4x400: Wilson does NOT mess around when it comes to the 4x400
4x800 (I care!!!): San Clemente, Wilson dark horse but a 4x400 4x800 double is gonna be tough for sure

and part 2...
100: Warr 11.2 (shes gonna put it together at the end of the season)

If they still had Stanley, they'd for sure dip under 40. I'm surprised they were even able to do it without him to be honest.
Main thing I wanna see at this point is a sub 1:50 800M at state. Hasn't happened in over a decade (since 2011 I think) so I'd be really happy to see Bodi get it.
I'd like to see Ricks win the 400, and he might have a chance since Cali is nowhere near as deep in the 400 this year as we were last year. Last year Stanley smoked everyone running 45.
Fast Horse is a hell of a kicker, and he went from near-last to top 3 at the 1600 final last year, so it'll be a fun match to watch.

100: Warr 11.2 (shes gonna put it together at the end of the season)
200: Keelan Wright 23.3
400: Hannah Rutherford 52.86
800: L'mio Edwards 2:07
1600: cmon is this even a question? 4:30
3200: Barker 10:08
4x100: Poly 46.2
4x400: Wilson 3:41
4x800: JSerra
according to one of my kids whose brother goes to Trabuco, Barker has been dealing with a health scare recently... hasn't been performing well since Arcadia. I expect Blade or Williams will prevail.

With all due respect to the massively talented Messers Parra and Perez (and Morgenfeld and Holman and anyone else of that caliber), I don’t see anyone beating the lanky kid from Dana Point over the next 10 days.

ill take williams then
Williams ran 10:00 solo in a frosh/soph meet a month or so ago and is yet to be challenged. She looks strong.

He's been running sub 9s nonstop through the postseason. I didn't pick him because i'm not sure he's gonna have anything left by the time he hits the state meet.

That's light work for him now.
He had a similar run in cross country. Waited to the end. I think Arcadia was a bad race for him.
