1915-2020: Boys State Track and Field Champions

They didn’t necessarily post the all-time San Diego County best in their event, or even their best, but 62 individuals have won 80 state track championships since the first meet in 1915.

Pole Vaulter Bill Miller of San Diego, jumper Dokie Wiliams of El Camino, and weight specialist Darius Savage of Morse stand out as triple winners.

Miller took his titles in 1927, ’28, and ’29. Williams won the triple jump in 1977 and ’78 and the long jump in 1978. Savage won the shot put in 2006 and the discus in 2005 and ’06.

There have been numerous double winners, the most recent being Madison’s Kenon Christon, who won both sprints in 2019.

A father-son combination was Clairemont’s Dale Fleet, who won the two-mile in 1972. Mac of University City won the mile in 2009.

There has been one brother-sister combination. Kristin Fahy of La Costa Canyon won the 3200-meter run in 2019.  Darren Fahy took the 1600 meters in 2012.
