Charlie Brown (Moorpark) 46-11 --Noah Bryant looked very, very explosive, with a couple of fouls near the end that may have been farther than his winning toss!!! Brian Ruziecki just did not have the snap that gave him a 61-footer already outdoors this winter.

Kelly Burton of Utah, who said she will be back here for April's Arcadia Invite has had two months of snow, so this was impressive. Kamaiya Warren had to hustle back for a League finals basketball game Saturday evening (that was the day of the meet!!!). Melissa Faubus looked good, with a near pr!!! EVENT 3.

What a good early season competition, probably the most ever over 44' this early in the year! There will be some rocking competitions down the road this spring! Again, Warren has been concentrating on basketball, so she will be ready for some far action!!! Burton is a 48' footer, so she will be dangerous, with Varner and Taumua proven commodities when it comes to the competitive department! Could be an interesting spring at Arcadia and other affairs!!!

Great field here with great results. The bar seemed to be very, very forgiving this day, with some of the higher clearances marked by some serious banging of the crossbar as athletes went over. Rivera set an El Salvador National Record with her 12-00 clearance!!!. Another event that will be a highlight of the spring season. Relative novice Kira Costa continues to compete very strongly, with the 14.87 hurdler and 17-11 Long Jumper over 12-00 here, duplicating her impressive effort from the Reno Vault Summit!! EVENT 6.

Against a fine group of Golden Staters, the New Mexican took off after a 2:08.8 880, and raced away with a 63 second third 440 (3:12.4 1320) that separated him from the pack, and cruised in ahead at 4:18.16, capturing the crowd's support with his courageous effort!

Matt Rainwater (Cal Poly Pomona) 4:22.84 RACE IN REVIEW: Etheridge paced the field through the first quarter mile. Lagat moved to the front at 600 yards and pulled away to battle the clock. Behind him, Pyrah moved easily past Colenso after 880 yards to position himself behind Lagat. As Lagat churned home for a strong win, Riley had an excellent final lap to grab second from Pyrah at the tape. Lagat's time is the best in the L.A. Invitational since 1985, when Eamonn Coghlan ran exactly the same time. Lagat becomes only the second miler in the meet history to record a fourth straight victory in the mile (the other one is Steve Scott, 1989-1992). --Bernard Lagat always comes to run!!! After a 57 second first 440, and 1:57 first 880, Lagat effortlessly moved away, with the crowd in anticipation of a sub-4 effort. Bernard continued his solo effort to the finish, with all appreciative of the super African's style and determination, with above stats on the quality of his effort on this facility. EVENT 60.

Malindi Elmore was looking for an NCAA Qualifier (4:43.20) which she was able to achieve. We figured out that Sally Hauser used to be Sally Glynn (now we just have to figure out which of the Hauser twins she married!!!). Good race to close out the evening, with Alejandra Barrientos (UCLA frosh) a good 4:48.48 effort for 5th in the strong Open and International Field (Elmore was World University Games Finalist for Canada last summer!!!).
