2026 Track Week 1: Dailey, La Jolla Ace, Grossmont’s Thomas Are State No. 1’s.

The performances and the performers keep getting better, the latter fueled by evolution, diet, training, equipment, and facilities, beginning sometimes indoors in December with a long eye toward the state track meet, which will be held again at Clovis Buchanan High in the 106th renewal May 29-30.

There have been several big meets through March, but like opening day in baseball or Week 1 in the NFL, it seems that track season really begins with the Arcadia Invitational, the two-day extravaganza at Arcadia High, where athletes from throughout the country will convene April 10-11.

Dozens of area thinclads will be among those at this premier event.

San Diego Section athletes in Athletic.net state top 25 are noted, except any with the — designation. *Junior. **Sophomore. ***Ninth-grader.
