2025 California T&F Thread

Despite all obstacles, he had an amazing comeback season. From being out of xc due to a broken leg to running 9:18. Sure, it’s not the same Burr who ran 4:15 and 9:03 but all the more impressive

Based on his Strava it seems like he rolled his ankle during SMOC and he has not run in a few weeks.

CIF Southern section prelims slated to reach mid to high 90s this saturday

So they'll let boys compete in girls events AND make everyone compete in 90 degree heat and subject the athletes to heat stroke?

Yep.
The weather, eh, happens every year that some meets end up buried in heat. It‘s the ridiculous trans stuff that could be easily stopped that is irritating.

Mira Costa has 31 sub-5s

Yeah seems like Cali is gonna be hot as hell this weekend. Thankfully it seems it'll cool down next week though and hopefully that will continue going into the state meet. Just a small heat wave is all

At least it's not raining. Last year was a nightmare.

Letsrunners fuming that Syed really did run 9:22

Here's another hot take - I don't think Noonan repeats at all this year. He isn't as dominant so far as he was at this point last season, and from what I've heard he's been struggling with injury

I think repetition of a state title is sadly unrealistic. The 3200m final is going to be DEEP and I'm not sure if he'll be able to keep up with them this year.

They’re also excited that California has become deeper

I agree.

My 3200 Top 5

Noonan/Pretre/Turk/EFY/Daliak

My 1600 Top 5

Stefanop/Cook/Kushen/Salinas/Sagiraju

Not sure who does what and doubles but thats my early thoughts. I refuse to bet against Noonan but I go pretre/stefanop as my next favorites in both events they are in great shape and have the tools to run fast at state.

Not sure if this is supposed to represent that the freshman class is fast or slow? It doesn't seem all that remarkable, but I am not an expert.

Isaac Abbott finna come out of nowhere on go sub 8:45 to win state ong

I disagree, I think he has a good shot. The state 3200 will be very tactical this year, since Parra isn't around. Noonan has a good shot in any tactical race as long as no one makes a strong move from 1k or so out. I've noticed that he's never responded too well when that happens.

God we don’t need another Arcadia, someone please take it out in 4:20
