We're Taking the Fast Lane to State

The 12 best 3200m runners in the CIF Southern Section came together Friday night to race to the 8 lap finish. Lane being one of them ran 9:05 for a 4th place finish and one of the top 5 who are promised an entry in the California State Track & Field Championships. The cool thing is that any one who ran faster than 9:10:47 could go regardless of finishing place. So, 9 of the 12 did just that and will go to the State Meet. Lane was happy about this as he has developed a bond with many of these guys he's been racing against since September.

Again, Lane had many friends and family there cheering him on. We are thankful for all of them making their way to Cerritos on a very difficult night of traffic on the highways.

Just a note for the out-of-staters: Southern Section includes over 570 high schools in Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, and Los Angeles counties (except the city of Los Angeles which has it's own section).
