The fudging of marks also got out of hand so I imagine going to more heats made up for the fudge factor. And now we're at the 37th running and there are usually 2 heats (and sometimes 3 heats) of all the events so that the top 16-24 entered athletes in CCS get to compete against each other.<br /><br />hankHankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03193101636229726446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-44721601591767082342016-04-19T20:47:21.157-07:002016-04-19T20:47:21.157-07:00Since we only care about distance races here - who...Since we only care about distance races here - who are the contenders in the 1600 and 3200 for girls, boys, and FS?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-70187874852579348952016-04-19T18:24:28.042-07:002016-04-19T18:24:28.042-07:00The Serra Top 7 Invitational used to be the San Ma...The Serra Top 7 Invitational used to be the San Mateo County Top 7 meet.

Typically, most meets have more boys competing and good freshmen girls can compete quite well against junior/senior girls. That is usually not the case with freshmen/sophomore boys against upperclassmen.

I know him personally, and of course I'll be a bit biased, but lets just say that the lack of results for the last year and a half aren't a mistake, he didn't have any at all. He's been running terrifically, running times that he never has run before, and he's been progressing virtually every meet at every distance. Give him a really good, hard race like this and he will show up. But no matter what, come the end of the season, it will be a really impressive story. Keep an eye on him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-53796849666487451002016-04-18T09:32:25.977-07:002016-04-18T09:32:25.977-07:00Coaches had the ability to use those times for the...Coaches had the ability to use those times for the entries.
