The following is from Hank Lawson regarding the top CCS efforts.

Here is a meet synopsis on CCS records that went down by Jordan Cheng (former Mt View coach).
Lawrence Onyekewe (Menlo) - sophomore 300h record (37.58)
Case Jacobson (St francis) - no record but furthest throw since 1967 (65'3.5)
Valley Christian (sShant Babyan, *Boston Maruccillio, sDevin Adams, sIsaiah Muse) - 4x200 record, old record from Menlo-Atherton 1960, (1:26.86)
Bellarmine (**Mizan Ackbar, sHarrison Webb, **Samuel Haven, sJosh Haven) - 4x110HH/shuttle relay (59.12) Akbar 15.4, Webb 14.7, S Haven 14.8, J Haven 14.2
Amaya Bhardawaj (Palo Alto) - ccs 3200 record (10:01.93)
Jordan Johnsson (Palo Alto) - soph. 100m record (10.44 +2.8)
That's all I noticed. Liam Tassa (mountain view) got pretty close to the frosh mile/1600 record.
My-oh-my, CCS will be lots of fun this year!
