3/29 MODESTO @ DOWNEY DUAL
So Downey only ran their distance runners in the 800m, which meant it was all MoHi in the 1600m and the 3200m wasn't even run on the varsity level

This event produced the only big surprise for me on the day as an unknown (to me) Modesto underclassman ran well under 6 to take the win. See the MJC Inv results as she continues to improve and impress.

4/1  WEST COAST RELAYS @ Buchanan HS, Clovis
Back in the day an earlier version of this meet was one of the premier track meets in the United States. It used to be a Ratcliff Stadium in the heart of Fresno. For years while growing up I worked on the hurdle crew at this meet. In HS I ran legs of the DMR two different years. The meet is now run at Buchanan HS (the same track as the State meet. This year the only competing StanCo team was Turlock (and it was a skeleton Bulldog crew that made the trip).
