Silverado's (Las Vegas, NV) Sean Zurko ran down both mid-race leader
Ryan Martin of Santa Margarita and down-the-stretch leader Ryan Gamboa
of Upland to win in 1:54.33. Gamboa, who missed much of the first
part of the season to attend to a fractured ankle sustained in soccer
action, briefly took the lead entering the final straight but was
overtain by Zurko with about 60 meters to go. Gamboa took second,
with Martin settling for third. Alhambra's Eric Arteaga led
at the 200 in 26.2, with Martin taking over from mthere to lead at
400m (55.3) and 600m (1:24.9). Cory Primm was a scratch from the event,
probably to focus on the mile later on in the day

FRIDAY INVITATIONAL HEAT/FLIGHT
SUMMARIES
GIRLS INVITATIONAL 3200M
The two biggest names in the field figured to be Glendora's Christy
Adamyk and La Mirada's Stephanie Felix and they certainly proved to
be -- but both were heading in opposite diurections by the time the
outcome was determined.
Adamyk set a torrid pace
early on, opening up with a 70.1 (by comparison, the invitational
boys 3200m kicked off with a 67.2 opener). Usually a hard starter,
the aggressive Duke-bound talent quickly fell off pace, going 80.2
(2:30.3), 84.0 (3:54.3) and 87.2 (5:21.5, or a 10:43.0 clip at the
halfway point) over the next three laps. Soon after, La Mirada's Felix
took over assuming the lead and then drawing local rival Vanessa Hancock
of Brea Olinda also into the fray. Felix held on for the win, with
Hanock keeping her honest as they finished in 10:52.39 and 10:53.50,
respectively. Fountain Valley's Lizzy Coe had the strongest last half-lap
kick among the chase pack, eventually creating a gap in taking third
in 10;56.51 as seven girls dipped under 11 minutes for the 3200!

BOYS INVITATIONAL 3200M
Foothill High of Bakersfield's
Chris Schwartz took control at about 550 meters and assumed the lead
from there, being seriously challenged by only one rival en route
to near-even splits and a lifetime-best 9:13.68 for 3200 meters!
Schwartz, one of the top frosh
in the state a year ago, was among a large field that chased after
opening-lap leader Jun Reichl of Royal (67.2), with the Central Section
standout Schwartz then showing fine courage in taking over the lead
early on. Schwartz brought the field across ech lap from there, with
his splits timed at 2:16.7 (69.2), 3:26.1 (69.4), 4:36.5 (70.4), 5:45.7
(69.2), 6:54.9 (69.2), 8:06.2 (71.3), 8:40.5 for 3k and a winning
9:13.68 (67.5 last lap) for 3200m.
Schwartz beat a fine field, with
Crested Butte Academy of Colorado senior Adam Lenz being his main
nemesis much of the way. Lenz, however, seemed to fade slightly over
the final lap and eventually placed
This was a fine rebound effort
for Schwartz, who missed his scheduled seeded 2-mile race at the Arcadia
Invitational last weekend and then had his coach opt to place him
in the much-faster invitational heat an hour later. The reason he
missed the seeded heat was because he apparently was out of uniform
and an official informed him he had to have a legal uniform on. By
the time he returned to the clerk's tent wearing a school uniform,
his race was gone. Instead, Schwartz found himself then facing a field
of runners that all averaged nearly 20 seconds faster than
him. Unfazed, Schwartz took the lead somewhere near the 1k mark at
Arcadia, but faded badly down the stretch to place 22nd (out of 25
runners) in 9:32.75 for the full two miles.
Schwartz's 9:13.68 here is the
sophomore state leader for 2007! Alex Routh, the fine junior from
Royal who improved dramatically to help key the Highlanders' success
down the stretch during last fall's cross-country season, unleashed
a very strong kick over the last 125 meters to pass two rivals and
place second in 9;21.24. Matt Duffy of St . Mary's College in Northern
California took third in 9:23.12 and Colorado's Lenz -- who was within
two strides of Schwartz early in the latter half of the race, lost
some steam down the stretch to take fourth in 9:24.03.

GIRLS INVITATIONAL 4 x1600
A very fine clash of squads from all over the map saw East
Coast-based Eleanor Roosevelt HS of Maryland overtake Ruyton Girls
School of Australia on the final leg, with ERHS prevailing in a very
fine 20:41.41 for the 4x1600, with Ruyton second in 20:43.90 and Carondelet
of Concord (Nothern California) third in 20:48.45. Eleanor Roosevelt
overtook early leaders Carondelet and Ruyton and the second leg and
held on from there. Roosevelt and Carondelet recorded the #2 and #3
times in the nation this year, trailing only Crescenta Valley's winning
20:47.10 for the full 4xmile in winning at Arcadia the week before.

BOYS INVITATIONAL
4x1600
Carlmont of Belmont (Central
Coast Section) threw down the heat! The fine crew which has already
posted excellent times over the DMR and 4x800-meter relay distances
this spring, motored away from Silverado (Las Vegas, NV) and Southland
power Arcadia to win the four-person, 16-lap affair in 17:39.31, a
nation-leading time for the crew. Nick Palladino had the Carlmont
crew out quickly, with teammate Brad Suhr then keying the wining effort
with a 4:15.2 split in the third leg, catapulting Carlmont into a
comfortable lead. Silverado closed very well on the last half lap
but just ran out of real estate to settle for second in 17:39.81.
Arcadia held on for third in an apparent school record 17:49.08! Carlmont,
which has been traveling to big meets all season, will be "shutting
down" after this weekend in preparation for the CCS and state
meet stretch drive before traveling to North Carolina in mid-June
for the Nike Outdoor Nationals!
