2005-2006 Collegiate Commitments

Cory Primm, the California state champion at 800m
this past June, has been working on speed. Check
here to get an update on how he's faring these days!

Although any verbal commitments made this early for 2007 are non-binding,
UCLA continued to get a huge head start on the competition by getting
a THIRD major commitment, this one coming from California state 800m

Eric Peterson and the UCLA atmosphere in general as reasons for his decision.
Previously, Saugus HS distance runner Shannon Murakami and JW North
sprinter Nevin Gutteriez made verbal extra-early commitments to UCLA.
