Braelyn Combe won the Division I 1600 meters in 4:41.36, becoming one of only four girls to win the race three straight times and breaking Shannon Murikami’s Division 1 record. Combe also later won the Division I 800 meters for a third consecutive season, running 2:07.42, the second-fastest time in Division I history. Summer Wilson withdrew from the 1600 Division 2 race but later won the 3200 crown in 10:23.01, her third title in a season. Servite’s 4x100 relay won the Division 3 boys title in 38.39, featuring Jace Wells, Jorden Wells, Kamil Pelovello, and Benjamin Harris.
"The Corona Santiago senior cruised to victory in the 1600 meters in 4:41.36 to join Shannon Murikami of Saugus, Anita Siraki of Hoover and Destiny Collins of Great Oak as the only girls to win the Division I race three straight times. Combe also broke Murikami's Division 1 record in the process."
""It means everything since this region is so stacked," said Combe, who topped Murikami's 4:42.50 in 2007 but was just off her personal-best 4:35. "I wanted to complete the task by winning it all three seasons. My goal was to get under the meet record so I'm happy. I'm getting closer and closer to that 4:30 barrier. I've got another step next week and state will be the deepest competition of all.""
"Later, Combe became the first Division 1 girl to three-peat in the 800 meters, pulling away around the final turn to win in 2:07.42, the second-fastest time in Division I history."
"Servite's 4x100 relay featuring Jace Wells, Jorden Wells, Kamil Pelovello and Benjamin Harris posted the fastest time of the day, winning the Division 3 boys title in 38.39. The same foursome clocked 39.70 to break the state record at the Arcadia Invitational one month earlier."
