2019 Week 2: La Costa Canyon’s Fahy Takes National Lead
A raft of marks, including a United States-leading 4:48.34 in the 1,600-meter run by Kristin Fahy of La Costa Canyon, punctuated the 40th annual Mt. Carmel Invitational.
Fahy’s four-lap sizzler topped three Southern Section runners, whose chase of Fahy resulted in the nation’s No. 2, 3, and 4 best performances. No. 5 is a 4:52.4 effort by a runner from Pine Crest, Florida.
Fahy, now ninth all-time in the San Diego Section 1,600, joined two other girls entries who, in preceding weeks, took state leads.
The Scripps Ranch 4×100 relay team is No. 1 in California at :46.95, although the Falcons’ girls have been beaten by Long Beach Poly and Calabasas, Poly for the second time at Mt. Carmel.
Coronado’s Alysha Hickey leads state high jumpers at 5-feet, 10 ½ inches, and is tied for third all-time in the San Diego section. Her 20-foot, 2-inch long jump is second in the state and fourth to Gail Devers’ 20-7 in 1984.
Noah Tellez-Velasquez of San Pasqual took the boys state lead in the 800 after running 1:52.56 in a meet at Azusa Pacific.
Madison’s Kenon Christon was second in the 100 meters to Christian Grubb of Sherman Oaks Notre Dame. Grubb ran :10.42 and Christon :10.45 but both marks were aided by a 2.8 wind, over the allowable limit of 2.0. Grubb was clear of any breeze as he ran :20.93 to Christon’s :21.5 in the 200.
Marks below in parenthesis are where the San Diego Section competitors stand in the state.
