Chad Hall, Big Bear HS, won Division IV Sweeps in 15:26 - "I wanted to do well going in, but the race turned out to be a lot harder than I thought. I talk to my brother all the time (Ryan calls) and he said to not worry about time, but just enjoy the running."

Tom McLean, Flintridge Prep, won Division V Sweeps in 15:53 - "I wanted to maintain on the hills and work hard on the downhills. This entire summer I realized my downhills were awful, and that is what this was for to get ready for CIF and all. I want to help my team to win, CIF and State."
