Last Week's Headlines

spectacular California state meet 
sets stage for super Foot Locker West

Ryan Hall 14:50 - Anita Siraki 16:59 is second ever under 17:00 - Sara Bei is first ever with 4 straight titles - Peninsula girls and McFarland boys get best overall times - Poly LB and J.J. Duke win Div 1 boys - Buchanan runner-up twice by 1 and 2 points - Kubler and Nelson in Div 5 photo finish - an amazing 182 times meet DyeStat Leader List standards -  Complete Report

Ryan Hall 14:50 in CA State Meet - Misses state meet record at Fresno 11/25 and, according to DyeStat Message Board poster Lasse Viren,  he hasn't decided about running in the Foot Locker West regional 12/2 at Mt. SAC.  Viren's post:  
"Hall's splits 4:40 9:36 about a (4:40 last mile) finished with about a 40 sec win. it was cold and no sun out (after a mile my arms were ice COLD).  He said he wanted to run 4:35 9:20 and under 14:40 (course record is 14:38, he hinted he was thinking about getting it).  Hall seamed a little disappointed, said he will decide in the next few days if he will run footlocker."

Later, John Ortega reported in the Los Angeles Times that "Hall is leaning toward running in the meet after saying he wouldn't two weeks ago."

Another recount in Florida! -- After celebrating their upset of Delray Atlantic for 3 days, joy turned to sorrow for Winter Park FL. The FHSA reversed the boys 4A result and declared Atlantic the winner, 111-115, when it was discovered by video reruns that Atlantic's 3rd runner finished 24th instead of 31st. What will the Florida Supreme Court say?

FL State Meet - Video rerun reverses boys 4A championship!! Original Result: Winter Park sr Mike Swope tops the Jefferson twins to lead his team to the 4A championship, 114-117, over Atlantic. Swope won in 14:54 3mi at Brevard Community College, with Atlantic's John and Sean Jefferson next at 15:03 and 15:09. Revised Result (after study of videos of the finish): Atlantic 111, Winter Park 115. Fastest girl is sr Christa Benton, Keswick Christian 17:26. Complete Florida State Meet Results
