Now for a little guess work.
As of May 8th entries have not been released so here is a little of what might happen.
Maria Carrillo looks very strong and is the heavy favorite but with other excellent teams right behind them it is not impossible for an upset.
Montgomery junior Jaymes Tischbern is looking like one of the best sprinters this area has had in a long time and could take down some of the non-Mel Gray records in the 100 and 200.
Maria Carrillo senior Isaiah Smith is the defending champ in the 400 and should be a run away winner in that event.
Santa Rosa senior Luca Mazzanti is the defending champ in the 1600 and also has the NBL’s leading times in both the 800 & 3200.
Not out of the question for him to try for a triple but more likely he would drop the 3200.
Even if he goes for all three he could have his hands full with Ukiah’s Robert Swoboda and Maria Carrillo’s Benjamin Lawson.
Montgomery’s Thomas Thomsen has had a slight edge over Maria Carrillo’s Zack Nelson but one miss step and Nelson could turn the tables.
Late in the meet will be the 300 hurdles which could be one of the most exciting to watch as the top six hurdlers in the area are all in the NBL.
Maria Carrillo has been the class of the Empire in the relays but if you are a relay fan you know anything can happen here.
Montgomery junior Waisea Jikoion has dominated the high jump so far and no reason to think he will falter here.
Maria Carrillo sophomore Cooper Plattus had a huge vault, 13-10, in May already and could become one of the All-Time greats.
Casa Grande senior Duilio Froes has taken his track speed this year onto the runways and will be difficult to beat in both horizontal jumps.
Windsor senior Ruben Mehler is one of the biggest favorites in the meet and should easily take both throwing events.
The top six in this meet move on and in some cases some very good 7th placers will see their seasons end.
Update
As stated what I wrote above was written before I saw the entries.
A few adjustments now that I have seen them.
Mazzanti will not run the 3200, probably a very smart move, leaving Ukiah’s Robert Swoboda and Maria Carrillo’s Benjamin Lawson to battle it out plus dark horse in Santa Rosa’s comeback star Daniel Pride.
And the sad state of the pole vault has only five entries.
