The Division III Boys Sweepstakes was another example of South Bay rising power Palos Verdes putting the hurt on top teams. Palos Verdes swooped in to win the big Stanford Invitational three weeks ago, then eked out a thrilling 2-point win over Laguna Hills, 99-101, here this time out. Palos Verdes senior Fawad Khan won in 15:41 Top-ranked Santa Margarita sat out its top runner and had its coach pull out another key runner early in the race after the effects of recent sickness were still apparent. Barstow, also a highly regarded program, opted to run three varsity runners in the lower levels. Had Santa Margarita and Barstow been at full strength, it appears neither would have topped PV on this day.
