San Diego Section runners and jumpers warmed to the competition in the Arcadia Invitational, turning in season highs in five girls events and three boys events; the young men brought the total to 9 in a City League triangular meet between Madison, Clairemont, and Christian.
Christin Fahy was third in the 3200-meter run at Arcadia, but her 10:15.80 race elevated her to No. 1 all-time in San Diego. She is second in the state and fourth in the U.S. and continues as the state leader in the 1600 and fourth in the country.
Fahy’s teammate, McKenna Brown, held the 3200 record at 10:15.97 in 2018. Fahy ran 10:16.44 in 2018.
Eric Parker of Helix became the 21st 400-meter runner to break 48 seconds when he moved into a tie for 20th with his :47.99 and also anchored Helix to its best time of the season, 3:23.1 in the 1600 relay.
Madison’s Kenon Christon long-jumped 23 feet, ½ inch against Clairemont and Christian and was fourth in the 100 meters at Arcadia with a time of :10.62, one-tenth slower than his best non-wind aided time.
