Granite Bay HS junior Scott Roth cleared 17-02 at the Sac Joaquin Section Finals to become the world U-18 leader in the boys pole vault, improving his national age-16 record and achieving the best vault mark by a Californian in 14 years!
On the track, Dorsey HS senior David Gettis (signed with Baylor) torched the oval with a nation-leading 46.08 to win the L.A. City Section Finals. Gettis' time was the fastest one-lap clocking by a Golden Stater since the famed Obea Moore clocked 45.14 in a Pan-Am Juniors competition in Chile 10 years ago.
Over in the sandbox, the Merrill West HS duo of Brittany Daniels and Shevell Quinley continued to dazzle. Daniels matched her seasonal best with a 20-05.50 leap into the wind to win the SJS Finals, with teammate Quinley recording a lifetime-best 20-03.75 into the wind to claim second. They are believed to be the only same-year 20-foot teammates in U.S. prep history.
Controversies continued as well, with Lincoln of Stockton's boys 4x400 relay team reportedly being disqualified for non-matching uniforms. Lincoln had clocked 3:18.60 in the long relay late last month as was the Northern California leader in the event. Long Beach Poly's boys 4x400, which placed second at the Penn Relays in 3:12.35, was DQ'ed in the CIF-Southern Section Divisional Finals last weekend. Tonight (Friday), the powerhouse CIF-Southern Section Masters meet highlights the docket.

Stat of the Week - John Sullivan is a track nut who can't get enough track stats. He cranks out lists for his own amusement -- and now he can amuse you as well. This week, a double feature:
Boys sub-9:00 3200m by state - Girls sub-4:50 1600m by state
Don't read these if you are anti-California. The Golden State claims one third of both lists.
Midwest Distance Gala
A new post-season meet will be held June 11 at Vernon Hills IL high school with four races under lights -- a boys 800, mile and 2-mile and a girls mile. Meet director Scott Bush said the purpose is to provide high level competition after state meets and before national meets for runners from the Midwest and beyond. There will be rabbits to insure a fast pace. Details are on the meet's web site.

NIKE GHAC RELAYS
the hottest meet in high school track and field -- virtually |
|
by John DyeNike and DyeStat announce the NIKE GHAC RELAYS, a new way for high school track and field teams to compete with other schools from across the country -- without leaving home. In the �postal relays� of old, coaches would have their team run a time trial, drop the results in the mail, and�a few weeks later�find out how they ranked. Now, Nike and DyeStat are using online technology to create a modern version of that idea. And instead of just one event, the GHAC Relays consists of 10 events across all track and field disciplines. The best teams will have balance. You can't win the GHAC Relays with just a couple of studs in a couple of events. Each team's best performance in each event will be scored decathlon style with a formula that gives 1000 points for a national record level performance and 700 points for the DyeStat Elite top 100 cutoff standard. The team score is the sum of the 10 event scores. An online scoreboard will let you slice and dice the scores any way you like. Prizes and surprises await the best teams.

| Steve (steveu) Underwood says: "God On The Starting Line is a wonderful gift to the world of prep distance running. It's kind of like eating, oh, a premium triple chocolate fudge brownie ice cream sundae. You might feel stuffed and a little woozy, but like you've never devoured anything so delicious." |
