Yes, as noted by Coach O'Neil, we are in this top position because of a few performances after the Arizona state championship meet where we were close to #1.

"While everyone's performances were outstanding, I want to make a special shout out to Harry for making a final push to get us into the meet. Harry competed in several meets after the State meet and it was his final two weeks of training that gave him a PR in both the 400m. and 110 hh that moved us past Mt. View. Nice job Harry!"

The other big event was Tommy Williams going to Arizona meet of champions and improving his 800m time 2 seconds faster to a new school record time of 1:54.4.
