Whoa! Bryshon Nellum was not special right out of the blocks, but 40 meters into the turn he was building! He came by the 100m start line in 10.5 and was flying, without a bit of slowing the final 100. His time, an amazing 20.58 (wind +1.0) the #4 California time ever and Southern Section best ever! Quincy Watts 20.50 (Olympic Gold Medalist), Brian Bridgewater 20.53 (NCAA Divisional champ), Calvin Harrison 20.57 (Olympic Gold Medalist Relay), and Nellum, some good company!!!

-D1 Boys 400 -
Bryshon Nellum (LB Poly) came to run! He was out at 11.6 with a definite lead at 100 meters. Through the 200 at 22.6 (into a breeze) he was far away from the pack, with a 34.5 at 300 meters. Racing alone, he was right at 12.0 for the final 100 meters for a super 46.55 win, with teammate Joey Hughes next at 48.39.

-D1 Boys 800 -
Erick Arteaga (Alhambra) leader through the 400 at 55, with Ryan Gamboa (Upland) and Steve Norton (La Sierra) up to the lead by the 600 at 1:24. Gamboa, who was hurt part of the spring, worked the final 200 to win at 1:52.55 over Norton's 1:53.10.

D1 Boys 1600 -
Dylan Knight (La Sierra) 31.1 opening 200 200 with the pack very close. The pace slowed to 64.4 at the 400, with Royal's Hudson Andrews and Jun Richel next. Spencer Knight had moved up to the front end by the 600 at 1:37.0. At 2:09.6 the pack was all close, with things starting to accelerate. It was single file through 1000 meters at 2:41.2, with Spencer Knight and Andrews from Royal pulling away. At 3:12.2 the front duo had pulled away by 20 meters, with they the only ones showing real snap through the 1400 at 3:43.5. Andrews easily raced by down the homestretch with a final 200 very near 27.0 on the way to a time right at 4:11. Andrews 4:11.02 - Dylan Knight 4:11.60 - Spencer Knight 4:14.51.

Division I and III would run together. JT Sullivan and Scott Blair of Trabuco Hills led up front, sharing things through a 4:36.4 1600 (after a 2:22.4 800). Surprisingly that edged them way ahead of the pack, with Spencer Knight, and defending State Champ Michael Cybulski (Royal, Simi) (obviously short on conditioning after a long injury), fourth at five and a half laps. Sullivan edged ahead of his teammate as they approached six laps (6:58.3 there). Sullivan rolled away to a good lead during lap seven, with Spencer Knight into second ahead of Blair. Sullivan and Knight moved right at the bell, with JT's effort seeming to first mellow Spencer's spirits, but the La Sierra flash put up a head of steam with 200 to go and raced in to just miss catching JT at the finish. Sullivan was 27.7 for the final 200, with Knight having to be in the 26 second range!! JT was 9:11.53 for the win with Spencer Knight 9:11.78 and Blair 9:15.66 in third.

-D1 Boys HH -
Super contest. Frosh Devalee Pedrogo (Mission Viejo) appeared to have the best start, with Trevor Habberstad moving in the middle. Once waited for Zion Babb (Alhambra (14.00 last week) to close down, which he did, but Habberstat shockingly won 13.93-13.98, with the multi-event Canyon star headed for Washington State now the #11 prep hurdler in the nation!!

-D1 Boys 300H -
Good race, with Cameron Stepney (San Gorgonio) out quick, with Trevor Habberstad (Canyon) challenging at 24.1 for the 200. After a great stretch run, Trevor staggered over the final hurdle, but was able to come in ahead, racing 37.74 to Stepney's 38.05, the Canyon star completing a super hurdle meet!!

Rancho Cucamonga led into the first exchange, with Bryshon Nellum (LB Poly) rocketing the backstretch to give his team a lead over Aliso Niguel at the start around the second turn. Good exchanges had the Jackrabbits rocket in 40.71, with Aliso Niguel next at 42.07. #4 time in the nation this year.

-D1 Boys 1600 Re -
Rancho Cucamonga was out well, with Poly in lane 1 a ways back early on the 3 turn stagger. Poly led off at 48.4, with RC 48.9. RC edged by on leg 2, with Poly racing ahead near the end of that section (48.7 for both). Same script leg three with Rancho edging close, with this time they were close at the start of the anchor, with Poly 48.3 and RC 47.9. Bryshon Nellum kept Rancho on the outside through 200, with the RC anchor actually passing Bryshon Nellum shortly after before the Jackrabbit anchor put the pedal down and raced 47.0 for a 3:12.40 winner. 48.6 for the RC anchor in their fine 3:13.99.

-D1 Boys HJ -

Surprising frosh Jessica Davis (Highland, Palmdale) came close from her lane eight spot, but Shelise was the winner 24.03-24.06.

Strong field with Turquoise Thompson (LB Poly) leading through 200m at 25.9 over frosh Angelica Weaver (Rancho Cucamonga).

-Girls D1 300H -
Turquoise Thompson (LB Poly) was among the nation's best at 41.74, and charged out from the start, before suddenly going down on the turn with what appeared to be a hamstring pull or cramp as she approached the third hurdle. April Pate (Carter, Rialto) continued her fine season with a 43.52 win over frosh Kristen Powers (Chaparral) 44.16.

-Girls D1 400 Re -
Long Beach Poly led into the first exchange with Jasmine Joseph indicated the lead-off runner over the PA, with a visual exchange with Turquoise Thompson into the backstretch. Wilson (Long Beach) charged leg 2 to work up to Rancho Verde and Poly in the battle for the lead, but the Poly Jackrabbits, with Hawkins on leg 3 had a definite lead into the anchor, with Wilson seeming to take off too early for the anchor leg. Poly raced to a 45.58 with Woodruff on the anchor, finally bettering their 45.79 Arcadia Invite time, but showing the ability to go still faster with perfect stick work. Rancho Verde was 46.15 in second, and Wilson next at 47.12.

Long Beach Poly and Rancho Verde were out strongly, with RV 56.6, LB Poly 56.7 and Wilson 59.6 on the lead-off. Poly led at the second exchange off a 56.1 leg, with RV close, and Rancho Cucamonga moving up. Rancho Verde appeared to cut in on Poly at the the start of the backstretch on leg three and the yelow flag immediately went up. Poly was 60.6 during a leg that lost stride fully, with Rancho Verde racing to a big lead. Jasmine Joseph closed the anchor at 52.8 to eventually win for Poly at 3:46.24. Officials huddled on the backstretch to figure out the yellow flag affecting the Rancho Verde-Poly situation, with the video replay an interesting one to make possible the review of the non-disqualification call. The Poly athlete seemed quite affected by the RV Girl’s action. The teams would finish 1-2 in the team scoring (RV 65 - P 62), with the 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 through eight in the finals.

Karen Han (Arcadia), Tara Richmond (Poly, Long Beach), and Ashley Henry (Rancho Cucamonga) all had no misses thorugh their 5-03 clearances, as did Ashley Smith from Millikan. Richmond and Smith were over 5-05 on their first efforts, with Han a second effort success there, and Henry over on her third try. At 5-07 Smith continued perfection on the day with a first effort “make” with none of the others able to clear that height. Smith went on to a pleasing 5-09 clearance on her second attempt, with Ashley, Richmond, and Henry only ninth graders, and Han a junior to bring a good group back in 2007!

-Girls D1 PV -
Katelyn Beighton (Los Alamitos) showed the Orange County strength in this event with an 11-06 win over Glendora's consistent Sarah Kasai at 11-00, with Beighton’s winner one inch short of her reported seasonal best of 11-07 from April’s Arcadia Invitational.
