  1. Wow. This race is stacked!
    so many great runners. weird, this meets top 10 list will be rewritten after this. Hopefully there will be a big chunk of boys to run under 9:30 or even 9:20
    I think It'll go
    -Hurlock
    -Reinhart
    -Huxam
    -Goltra
    -Arias
    -Sum
    -Tu
    -Schuman
    -Williams
    -Melendez
    all under 9:30

  2. The fast heat is going to be too much competition all psyching one another out, resulting in a strategic race with a slow time. Prediction: Fastest time of the day coming from Heat 9.

  3. You are more than likely kidding but if you are not, there is 0% chance the fastest 3200m. time will come from Heat 9. It would take a whole lot of runners blowing up for that to happen and based on past results, there are too many solid runners in heat 10 for that to happen.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Fastest time will be in the fast heat but it won't be Arcadia fast as it won't ramp up until last mile. I say 4:50 kick 4:25 for a 9:15ish.

    Perhaps one of the runners would agree to be a pace setter for 3-4 laps then drop out like they do for the Stanford college/pro races.

  5. My prediction--Hurlock takes it out at 64 pace for the first 400 and goes through 800m in sub-2:10. Meanwhile Goltra, Huxham, Tu, Arias follow 10 seconds behind in that order and hurlock is still going strong, splitting 3:15 for 1200. Sum, Melendez and the rest in group 2 start to gain on Goltras group. Hurlock passes the mile in 4:24 and Goltra and Tu start to gain ground, passing in 4:30. (Arias has dropped off the pace at this point.) Then Sum surges at lap 5 and catches arias, gaining ground on goltra and Tu. At this point Hurlock is starting to tire but still has 50 meters on everyone. Arias is leading the 2nd pack at lap six, and Huxham, in fourth makes his move and sprints past goltra and tu, and is catching hurlock going into lap 7. Goltra counters the move and boxes huxham in, while tu follows goltra and goes by him in the last stretch of lap 7. Hurlock is starting to tire and Huxham rapidly catches and passes him for the lead. Sum then catches Goltra and runs after Tu. and that group starts its last lap while hurlock fades badly and gets passed, and then Sum uses a deadly kick in the final straightaway to overtake huxham for the lead and crosses the finish line in 9:07. Meanwhile tu and goltra have also caught huxham and battle to the line with tu edging goltra in 9:15.1 to 9:15.2. Huxham is next to stumble across the finish line in 9:19. Then Arias manages to pass Hurlock for 9:24. Finally the rest of the runners finish the race, all in 9:30+.

    So I predict Sum for first, then tu, Goltra, huxham, arias, hurlock and the rest.

  6. I'm sorry to say this, as I respect Sum, but there is no way he is either winning or running sub 9:10 this season. I also know it will not go out in anything above 4:40, unless they're all a bunch of wimps (please guys, prove me wrong).

    My prediction: first mile is 4:35 - 4:40, closing roughly the same. Winning time around 9:15. Hurlock is not afraid to take the pace so I can see him leading but it's a real crap shoot on who's gonna win this one.

  8. Oh they'll go out in 65 but then run 75 for lap 2. You heard it here first. #idiothighschoolrunners.

  9. Hurlock wins in 9:08. Goltra runs 9:09
    Huxam-9:14, Reinhart- 9:16 Arias 9:19, Tu 9:19, Arias-9:20, Intravia 9:24, Schumann, 9:24.

    ReplyDelete
  10. If Hurlock wins it will likely be by more than one second, because if any of the other top guys are that close to him towards the end they'll catch him on the straightaway

    ReplyDelete
  11. You do know it can get very windy at Dublin in the evenings?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Too much hype and very likely it will be windy. Let's also remember that the HS season is long...we're currently in March. Do we really think we'll see season PR's in mid-March??

  13. *Observing Gabe Arias race*
    Andrew Melendez - Best kick in the state, easily.
    Louis- Yes! Andrew Melendez just said you have the best kick in the state easily

  14. Weather report for Saturday is 79 degrees and "A full day of sunshine".

  15. Huxham followed by Goltra, Sum and Hurlock. He won the 3000 at Stanford last year in 8:38, Arias was 15 seconds back.

  16. Can anybody recall a buzz like this for a 3200m. race in Northern California? Maybe one of the CCS Top 8 meets with sub 9:00 attempt?

    ReplyDelete
  17. I'm a big fan of Goltra, but anyone who is expecting a top performance from ANY of the Campo athletes this early in the season simply isn't paying attention. Every year Chuck has them train-thru and cruise for an entire season, then they come into NCS and State to give incredible peak performances. That's the Campo playbook. Goltra will probably step up to make sure he's top 3/finishes in a respectable place (doesn't lose to Gabe, Sum or Tu), but I highly doubt you'll see him in Championship form.

    I think the race will be a lot less exciting than everyone here is anticipating, with Hurlock cruising for the win like he did at Ed Sias during XC season (the DLS playbook is WAY different than Campo). I think the real wild card in this race is actually Reinhart, who could try to mark his "rookie" debut with a big win. Also, I'm sorry to say, but the CCS fans are delusional.

    I think it will be:

    -Hurlock/Reinhart
    -Goltra/Huxham
    -The rest

    ReplyDelete
  18. Heard a rumor that Reinhart is playing in a LAX tournament in Dublin, IRELAND on Saturday night

    ReplyDelete
  19. You know the Livermore guy was a state meet finalist in the 1600 and had a nice xc season. Just saying since no one is mentioning him

    ReplyDelete
  20. Well that Campo play book hasn't worked out so well in 800 or 1600 lately. Or 3200 really. Truth is NCS was embarrassed in the distances by the CCS last year for both boys and girls. Yes the NCS will shine here but don't be so cocky NCS fanboy. You must have a real short term memory.

    Since the discussion is only about the boy's 3200 at Dublin Distance Fiesta, it's hard to take you seriously when you say "NCS was embarrassed in the distances by the CCS last year." As you can see below, both Goltra and Hurlock finished ahead of the CCS athletes at State....

  22. ^ Nice. Except the poster said "distances" implying 800, 1600, 3200 for both boys and girls. Also runners from CCS ended with better season bests.

    I agree, but that was Nick Ratto

  24. What Chuck's Army private first class is trying to say is, the Campo play book only works for the Boys 3200.

    ReplyDelete
  25. ^^^Yeah, Campo's State Champion Girls' XC team was probably REALLY annoyed by Chuck's lack of "playbook" this past season.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I don't think you get it. It is track season now. Chuck is GREAT at XC and even 3200. 800 is awful and 1600 not really that good. Not criticizing just an observation.

    I agree Campo has more success in XC and over 3200m as the training is more geared to the longer events. However, Thomas Joyce did have the fastest NorCal time for 1600 (conversion from 4:11.77 mile) in 2012 and Carrie Verdon's 4:53.38 mile that same year, when converted, gets her a little closer to Hiltz and Maxwell's 1600 times. Of course Joyce only ran the 3200 at State and Verdon was injured after NCS MOC.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Miguel Vasquez 4:08.44
    Scott Edwards 4:12.55
    Yohaness Estifanos 4:18.27

    To those dogging on the CCS lets remember in 2013 there was three representatives from the central coast and none from the NCS. Also, while two NCS runners finished ahead of the CCS runners at State Richard Ho and Yohaness Estifanos finished the season with faster season bests, not to mention Estifanos ran the 1600 trials and finals.

    Both sections are strong and representing NorCal quite well. But the superiority complex of some of the NCS and Campo here is comical.

    You are correct about last year, however most people on this thread have a problem with reading comprehension, including you. Seems like more of the posts on this thread are bashing "Chuck's Army".

    If you ended your post with just "Both sections are strong and representing NorCal quite well" then there would have been no argument. However you had to take a last dig at NCS and Campo which shows were your true sentiments lie.
