Four more shouts7. Loyola senior Elias Gedyon didn't repeat as 1600 champion but he had a better meet. The talented Oregon-bound runner ran a lifetime best of 4:04.04 – which would have won the state title in 49 other states – and then came back with a remarkable kick in the final 300 meters to win the 3200 (8:50.03).
8. Though Prandini stole the show, Clovis West senior pole vaulter Anginae Monteverde wasn't far behind as she drew the loudest cheers by winning the at 13-6, which is No. 3 in the country this year and No. 5 all-time in the U.S.
9. Johnathan Cabral (Agoura), the national leader in the hurdles, seemed somewhat disappointed by his double because his times of 13.79 and 36.20 were off his bests of 13.43 and 36.19. The upbeat Cabral admitted that running on the wet track in spots was "like running on ice. … I'm not going to beat myself up. I wanted to go for some records but I'm still happy with the wins."
10. Though loudest hoot on the field came from Otay Ranch senior Marques Roberts who overtook Dublin's Keremiah Crockett on his last attempt to win 49-6½ to 49-1¾. Crockett had taken the lead from Roberts on his fifth attempt, but the San Diego Section standout took it right back on his final try. He let out a giant groan after his jump, then watched helplessly as Crockett went 47-11½ on his final attempt.
Johnathan Cabral thought he was running on ice, but still managed two victories.
