This is ridiculous! It is going to be 100°F when the distance events start. Good luck to all the milers out there in Fresno who are going to take the worst of the heat!

You posted the rule yourself a week ago. It's WBGT (wet bulb globe temperature).
Pretty easy to calculate an estimate with all the data
Right now Fresno is roughly 84F WBGT.

The California high school track and field state prelims will be held in Clovis, CA on Friday, May 30 where there will be temperature high of 104°F. The next day when finals is supposed to be held, Clovis, CA will have a temperature high of 101°F. Given that these athletes are expected to do a lot of physical activity on these days, it is my recommendation that the state meet either be canceled or postponed to a time when temperatures don’t have a significant chance in increasing heat stroke among athletes.
The State Meet has been like this the past 15 years. Sure, sometimes it’s a little cooler, but being 100+ (or close) is common. The 3200 is the only event significantly affected but it’s at ~ 9:00 PM and is surprisingly nice even though it’s warm. People run fast in 1600/3200 every year. And the Sprints are FAST. Bring some ice water or get a snow cone and enjoy the great event!
Only a few events in so far, but I just came back to gloat since it’s already a fantastic meet.
