2022 Boys Track (3): Parker No. 1 All-Time in 400 Meters

Adren Parker of Helix yesterday became the third San Diego Section runner to shade 47 seconds in the 400 meters, setting an all-time record of :46.82 Friday in trials of the 102nd state track meet.

Parker’s time was bettered only by the :46.81 of Jeremiah Walker of Fresno Central.  Two other runners who have run under :47 also qualified for what promises to be a hot final tonight.

Parker, according to Steve Brand of the San Diego Union-Tribune, also legged a :46.6 anchor as the Highlanders won their heat in the 4×400 heat in 3:17.47, fourth fastest of the day.

The father of Parker’s Helix’ teammate Lydell Burston, Jr., set the San Diego Section record of :46.85 in the 1996  state meet.  Karson Lippert of La Costa Canyon ran :46.91 in 2017.

Twenty-two San Diego Section entries got through the trials into today’s competition.
