Arguably the best girls program in the country – Long Beach Poly – goes after a record fourth straight state crown. With Cox and Ndipagbor alone, the Jackrabbits would win the meet handily but a strong supporting cast – 15 athletes in 10 events according to DyeStatCal/ESPN Rise editor Rich Gonzalez - should push the Jackrabbits to a new scoring record.
The state has also gone to a new scoring format – 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 – which will no doubt benefit Poly's scoring prowess. Previous only six places were rewarded with points.
