Stanford Invitational final meet schedule and LIVE results

Might want to double check the time of your races. HS DMRs moved up an hour from original schedule.

You can find live results at the following link:

Please help fellow runner...see below.

I'm a former Maria Carrillo HS runner (class of 2005, under Dan Aldridge) and was hoping you could help me out a little bit via your website. Here's the situation:

I was recently selected to represent Team USA at the 18th Maccabiah Games. The Maccabiah Games are held once every four years in Israel, and see Jews from across the globe come to compete in various sports. Basically, it's the "Jewish Olympics." I'll be racing the half marathon.

Unfortunately, there isn't quite as much money here as there is in USATF, so part of the trip has to be fundraised. I need to raise a total of $3,300, and was hoping we could post a link to my info/fundraising page on the website. Here it is: http://www.active.com/donate/usahalfmarathon/wolf-root.

We also have a team website which has a small bio on me, which can be found at: http://www.maccabiah-usahalfmarathon.com/aboutteam/openteam.htm#Alex. Hopefully that should give you more info, but you can of course email me back with any and all questions.

Marin Independent Journal

DUBLIN - Erik Olson just keeps getting better and better. In fact, the Novato High junior is now the best mile runner in the state.

Olson set a school record and meet record with a time of 4 minutes, 17.28 seconds in the 1,600-meter race at the Dublin Distance Fiesta on Saturday and, in doing so, posted the best time of the season in California.

"At the beginning of the race he got bumped around quite a bit and he didn't get the lead until halfway through the first lap, but he held it throughout," Novato coach Steve Deschler said.

For the Marin Catholic boys, Alec Govi ran a 4:30.62 in the 1,600 and also a 2:05.47 in the 800. Theresa Devine won the 1,600 for the girls with a 5:19.16 and also was third in the 3,200 (11:17.73).

Mark Klunk (4:58.5), River Raras (5:04.6), Ryan Finton (5:10.8) and Shane Kelly (5:12.8) also competed for Novato in the boys 1,600.
