The date for this year's meet is April 4, 2009 with an 8:00 AM start time.

The meet is held at Citrus Hill HS, less than 2 miles from King HS in Riverside. 

It was the host school, Riverside King, that shadowed the 'Stangs by 5-8 points for most of the girls meet. But in the lengthening afternoon shadows the Wolves were able to snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat as King's 2nd place showing in the 4x400 relay to Vista's fourth, flipped the trend and put King in front at the finish. It was quite a day!

It was a great day for more than just those two squads, however.  In the distances, there were several meet records that fell to great efforts and great weather. The girls 800 had Erika Reddish of Vista Murrieta set a new meet mark at 2:20.89, followed by Hanna Peterson of King who also won the 1600 in a meet record time of 5:18.73. Hesperia Sultana showed dominance in that distance event with three 9th/10th graders in the top four, each one under 5:29. They placed two more multi-lappers in the top group of the 800, all under 2:32 as well. Coach Mahr continues to work his magic!  Reddish doubled back seemingly for points in the 3200, as she ran a tactical effort to win, well off her PR of 10:49, but still fast enough at 11:32 to set a new meet record. Hannah Munyan of Sultana was second and Carrie Soholt of King was third.

Gabby Estell of Rancho Verde set a new meet mark in the 300 hurdles at 45.46, and her short-sprint teammates set the meet mark in the 400 relay at 49.10. Cajon was a close second at 50.86. Rancho took both relays, winning handily the 1600 version at 4:14.03, two seconds up from their own meet record set last season.  Sophia Ederaine of Canyon Springs took home a meet record high jump win at 5-4, and Kelli Boyd of King surpassed the meet's best in the long by going 16-10, winning by 14 inches! Almost 2 feet separated her from #2 in the triple as she won at 36-8, followed by Ayana Gales of Cajone and ERica Enoex of Vista Murrieta who both surpassed the old meet-best as well.  Tiffany gray of El Dorado won the shot and discus, but it was in that last event that Lauren Escudero of King earned a half-point in tieing with Suzie Cubias of La Sierra for fifth that made the difference in the team score.

Vista's boys were humming along all meet, with wins in both sprints. Bellflower's Reggie Randdle took second in the deuce. Rancho Verde's Vadal Brooks took down the 400 meet record by going 51.96. In the 800, the top three finishers broke the respectable meet record of 2:02.86. Kevin Vega of San Jacinto took top honors at 2:00.57, with Daniel Balcazar of King and Edgar Cobain of La Sierra in tow. Trevor Henson (Paloma Valley) and King's Lane Werley came in with sub-4:30 credentials in the 1600 and immediately established a four lap dual that Henson would win, 4:28.61 - 4:29.58. Both marks were under the meet record.  Tommie Poston made it a good day for El Dorado with a win in the 3200 at 10:22.

Terance Narvaez of Canyon Springs had a fine performance in the high jump, winning at 5-10. Mitch Langer of Patriot took the vault and Trevon Webb won the long and triple jumps with a meet record in both at 20-5 and 42-5. Shawn Mack of Paloma Valley took home the final meet record of the day in the discus, flinging it 138-02.

So it was a fine 5th annual event, with a number of new meet records etched into the books, 25 teams represented and a half-point victory for King in the girls.
