2026 South SJS Distance Track Highlights Week 8 (CCAA 2; VOL Duals; MLL 2; Hal Clements; Tiger Invite/Arcadia; West Coast Relays)

By the title you might not be able to tell but this was a much lighter week that the past several. The reason for this is that many schools were on Easter/Spring Break and the weather cancelled the only major local invitational.

The weeks highlights for me:

1. Golden Valley's Fernanda Cortes ran 5:01 at the Tiger Invite.

2. Christian Gonzalez (Sierra) has a huge PR in the 1600 at WCR.

The competing South SJS teams were Beyer, Atwater, Buhach Colony, East Union, El Capitan, Golden Valley, Livingston, Manteca, Merced, Orestimba, Patterson, Pitman, Ripon, Riverbank, and Turlock. This is THE MEET in California and maybe the nation. Getting into the meet is a honor and an opportunity. The hope is by competing against such a high level of competition all of the athletes will benefit. However the fields are crowded in the distance races, and if you aren't used to running in a crowd, finding room to maneuver can be elusive. Also if you have an "off day" while at Arcadia it can be humbling and disappointing. I would say that most of the local distance runners did not have their best races on this day. Hopefully they can learn from the experience and move forward to better races as we move into the final third of the season.

2026 South SJS Distance Track Highlights Week 7 (CCAL Girls 2; TVL Duals; WAC Duals; CCAA 1; VOL Duals; Bob Pryor; MJC Inv; Stanford; Delta Mustang)

Many districts had this week off, some have next week. Never-the-less this week was heavy with league dual meet competition and some amazing marks.

Highlights for me this week:

Dominguez, Badea, Dittman

1. Four girls (Tyleah Badea, Anna Dittman, Roselynn Dominguez, and Jymena Nguyen Marquez) go sub 5:10 in the 1600m at MJC Inv.

2. Larson Wejmar (Turlock) goes 9:14.01 which lands him at #12 all time StanCo, #17 all time South SJS Distance

3. Hughson's Grace Benitez broke 5:30 for the first time in the 1600m

4. At a WAC tri-meet Beyer's Alex Mejia Hidalgo and Lathrop's Riley Gier go off in the 800 and both break 1:56. Alex 1:55.69 is #18 all time for StanCo. Alex also runs 4:20 in the 1600.

5. Anahi Ruiz Velasco (Beyer) runs 5:09.07 in the 1600m which is #24 all time for StanCo

6. At a dual meet with Sierra, Patterson's Jaylyn Carrillo drops her 3200m time to 11:14.27 which is # 24 StanCo.

7. It was great to see Tyleah Badea back out competing although it was now in a blue Sierra uniform. She wasted no time PRing in the 1600 at 5:05.15 at MJC Inv, which is # 34 all time for South SJS Distance

WED 4/1 CCAL GIRLS 2 @ Johansen HS, Modesto (hosted by Enochs)
