By the time Shea Volkmer received the baton on the final leg for the Campolindo girls, it wasn’t a matter of whether the senior would eclipse the 4x800-meter relay meet standard, but by how much.

The all-senior lineup of Daisy Penney, Kate Kabenina, Rachel Moen and Volkmer clocked 9 minutes, 31.93 seconds for Campolindo, smashing the 9:50.15 performance achieved last year by Rio Americano, leading three programs under the previous standard at Dublin High.

Campolindo achieved the third-fastest effort in program history, including the Cougars’ best time since 2015.

Mountain View ran 9:38.18 to place second and San Francisco University took third in 9:48.40, both under Rio Americano’s mark from last season.

Stockton Lincoln placed fourth at 9:50.90, with Crystal Springs Uplands clocking 9:59.11.

Beckett Dolan, Tomas Ferns, Jefferson Wright and Tam triumphed in 7:57.18 for Davis Senior, eclipsing the 7:57.44 effort produced last year by Pleasant Grove. It was also the third-fastest time in program history for Davis.

The Blue Devils now boast meet all-time marks in the 4x800 and distance medley relay, the latter performance of 10:23.93 from 2016 still remaining the longest-standing Dublin Distance Fiesta record.

Los Gatos, relying on an impressive anchor leg from Aydon Stefanopoulos, finished second in 8:05.86 and Bellarmine Prep took third in 8:09.92.
