Can the Steele Canyon 4×100 relay team hang with the favorites? Can Ava Parker hold her own in a possible four races in two days? Is this the year that Chiara Dailey wins a state championship?
Those are among the questions this week as San Diego Section qualifiers head to Buchanan High in Clovis for the 106th state meet and the 51st in which girls are involved since their first in 1974.
Dailey, a dominant runner for four years at La Jolla High, will try for a 1600 or 3200 championship.
Helix’ Parker is a threat in the 200 and 400 but can the young ninth grader hold up physically amid the Clovis heat and the stiff competition?
The Steele Canyon ladies set a San Diego Section of :45.78 last week and will try to match strides with Fullerton Rosary (:44.23), Calabasas (:44.78), and several others in the stacked event.
The answers will begin around 5 p.m. Friday and resume at the same time Saturday.
San Diego Section athletes in state top 25 are noted in Athletic.net, except any with the — designation. Â *Junior. **Sophomore. ***Ninth-grader. Bold indicates season best achieved last week.
