800 and 3200 are going to be killer, as well as the 100.

In general, I pay little attention to the state at-large mark because for the most part, here in Northern CA, they are irrelevent. By that I mean,how many athletes in all of NorCal hit an at-large mark, that did not qualify by being in the top whatever is necessary to qualify out of there section? Rather than asking the question about what is the hardest at-large mark to hit (It is the boys' 100m in my opinion), let's talk about which event is deep enough and in which section, that someone might actually use an at-large mark to get to state. In other words, which event is deep enough and in which section that someone might qualify by virtue of hitting that mark from outside of the automatic qualifying places.

Man can and will hit the mark but at State in the competitive field. Very hard to hit at the section meet with only 1-2 runners that can hit it.

Which is why I'd like to see a Nor Cal / So Cal Meet. 32 entries... 18 for the south, 14 for the north. Still keep at large times for the insanely fast years I guess.

Tried the NorCal/SoCal meet in the mid-80's for two years, didn't work. Just added another week to the post-season.

I'd say that long and tripple jump are the only events in which the "at large" standards might come into play for NorCal.

Same for the Section Standards. To be honest I think there should be a rule that if you hit the Standard three times in the "pre-season" it should count toward you advancing.

Think about it, how many times is the two mile run at 3 pm at the league meet in crazy hot conditions. Or nasty wind. If the kid can run it three times they clearly prove they deserve to be there.

Should be for Section and States.

I think we would see a lot more great meets in the season rather than just State. Kind of like Stanford Invite for college, Arcadia for HS... we need more great meets with solid competition.

What do you guys think?

PS. I think the 5k at the State and section level is needed as well. Ditch the 2 mile, its old and out dated. They run 8-10 5k's a year in cross 2-3 in track wont kill them.
