2022 Boys Track (2): Parker, Harder Advance in Section and State Marks
The top three finishers in last week’s San Diego Section championships move on to the state meet in Clovis this week.
In addition, any contestant who met the state qualifying standard in the section meet also is eligible.
For example, two 800-meter runners in the list below qualified, but a third, who ran 1:54.54, missed because the standard as set by the CIF is 1:54.52 in that event.
IMPRESSIVE PAIR
Adren Parker of Helix and Quinn Harder of San Marcos are among state leaders in their respective events and also climbed on the section’s all-time list.
Harder’s 1:51.90 800 is seventh and Parker is eighth after his :47.31 in the 400.
A setback came when Lincoln’s Jalil Tucker pulled up and didn’t finish the 100 meters. Tucker led the section at 10.51 and earlier scratched from long jump, at which his 23-11 is fifth best in the state.
