Most (if not all) track league meets have a prelim. Sure Combe didn’t have any great performances recently but if it’s a prelim meet then I doubt she doesn’t move on- could be the case she was just holding back.
This is correct, typically top 12 get through to finals. CIF SS also has at-large times that get you through to CIF if you're not top 3 (helpful in leagues where a 1:59 is good for 9th in the prelim)

Quite a few leagues have finals today on finished results. Century Conference, Big VIII, Sea View, and Southwestern should all have some quick times across distance events. Sadly not seeing any distance quads (1600, 800, 3200, 4x400) in the entries, but I didn't do an exhaustive search
What are the chances we can get 7 SJS runners to state in the 3200 (Abbott, Holman, J Stream, Lomeli, Anderson, Bilodeau, Thronson, and Burr). This is something Abbott joked about on Strava but think about it tho.

Yesterday was signing day, does anyone know of any top signees? Especially Aydon Stefanopolous and JR Lesher? It seems like the top runners in Cali have all committed somewhere but Aydon and Lesher (unless I’m missing something)
"Newbury park of X or Y" gets thrown out a lot but I think Servite has the potential to reshape state and possibly even national sprinting over the next few years in the same way. 40.00 with two sophs and two frosh, 3:12 with 4 frosh.. People are starting to realize that 41.9 and 3:20 aren't gonna make the cut anymore.

I asked Aydon recently and he said he hasn't committed yet. I suspect he's trying to get into a school through his academics and then walk onto the XC/TF team. I have also heard a lot of UCLA and Berkeley rumors regarding him but nothing confirmed.
Though, I don't know about J.R. Lesher.
Also, expect to hear an announcement by Callum McBride sometime soon!
While I do agree walking on is insane given his talent. Perhaps if he wants to go to a school at the HIGHEST tier of college running, it's not too far fetched he can just be trying to get accepted into someplace like Oregon, Iowa State, and NAU and then walk onto the XC/TF team.
I’m genuinely confused. Is Lucas Alberts tripling at league? He ran the 3200 2 days (9:33- impressive considering he’s a middle distance guy). He said on Strava that he plans to run the 1600 till section masters so he can go sub 4:10 and he’s obv running the 800 (that’s like his speciality). If he’s indeed going to be doubling or tripling, I don’t know how would that play out considering he plans to run the 800 at state, and I’m assuming he wants to do pretty good. Idk what do y’all think?

He could become the first Californian high schooler to win the CIF state 800m, 1600m, and the 3200m.
Rude is kind of pushing it. I think Sac running is being realistic. Andrew Burr is certainly not where he’s used to be but considering his mass amount of improvement within 5-6 weeks after breaking his leg- it’s something to not brush past. If he’s able to peak at the right time- he could have a shot. Burr does certainly have a lot of catching up to do considering there’s already about 5 other runners below 9:10 (we’re not bring Abbott and Broen into the equation because Ik damn well they’re taking those first two spots to state- it’s really that 3rd auto qual spot that can be taken by literally anyone, unless Abbott does go through with his comment about pushing 68’s and closing in 64 to get an “SJS Takeover” but I think that could only get you so far with at least maybe 1-2 at large spots. If we were to get the other 6 at large spots, Holman and Abbott should be shooting to run low 8:50s at section masters). Anyways, all I’m saying is that Burr’s trajectory is not something to look past.
