2024 Boys Track Week 5: Section Ranks High Among State Leaders
Even after a withering assault on top 25 performances in the Southern Section meet last week, San Diego boys still command eight spots in the California top five of their respective events heading into Saturday’s Section finals at Mt. Carmel.
Mount Miguel’s David Arrington, Jr., ran the 200 in :20.64 in the Division II finals at University City, marking the sixth time this season Arrington has bettered 21 seconds in the event.
The Matadors’ sophomore leads the state and is fifth in the country. Arrington will likely have three more opportunities (Section finals, State trials and finals) to break Kenon Christon’s County record of :20.55.
