2026 Boys Track Week 4: Calendar Closes in on Season’s Biggest Events

Dual meets wrap this week, heading into league finals May 8-9, San Diego Section divisional championships May 16, Section finals May 23, and the 106th state meet May 29-30 in Clovis at Buchanan High.

Mater Dei’s Jasir Fontenot, state 100 hurdles champion as a ninth grader in 2025, lost for the first time since a race at Arcadia in 2025, when he was second at the Sacramento Meet of champions last week to Chase Young, a junior from Concord De La Salle.

Fontenot, who ran :13.21 winning the state meet championship last season, was slowed by an ankle injury until recently.  His time of :13.77, with an allowable 1.7 trailing wind, was his best of the 2026 season, while Young’s career-best :13.67 topped a wind-aided :13.87 earlier this season.

San Diego Section athletes in state top 25 are noted in Athletic.net, except any with the — designation.  *Junior. **Sophomore. ***Ninth-grader. Bold indicates season best achieved last week. Girls’ marks tomorrow.

2026 Week 3 Girls Track: Move Over Parkers, Here Comes Ava

Ava Parker is stepping on her big brothers’ toes while continuing a family tradition at Helix.

The ninth grader ran :53.47, the fourth fastest 400 meters in County history last week in the Mt. San Antonio Invitational in Walnut.  Ava was second in the race to the state-leading :53.13 by Clara Adams of Long Beach Wilson.

The Parker family is steeped in running and athletics.  Adren Parker, Ava’s older brother, set the County record of :46.48 in the 400 in 2024.  Eric Parker, Adren’s older brother, ran the 400 in :47.91 for Helix in 2019.

It starts with the father, also named Eric.  That Parker played college football at Tennessee and then six seasons for the San Diego Chargers in the early 2000’s and caught 187 passes for a 13.8 average and scored 11 touchdowns.

Ava’s 400 is second fastest in the state this season and she also leads the San Diego Section with a wind-aided :24.05 in the 200 meters.

The Escondido Invitational and Dick Wilkins Frosh-Sophomore meet at Del Norte headline the meet schedule this week.

2026 Boys Track Week 3: 4×800 Meters is Go-To Race for Del Norte

Del Norte set a San Diego Section record in the four-man, 800-meter relay with a time of 7:44.70 at the 65th Mt. San Antonio Relays in Walnut Last week.

The team of Finn Butler, Isaac Bradshaw, Nick Echsner, and Cam Yarbrough bettered the mark of 7:48.39 by a Torrey Pines foursome at Mt. Sac in 2011.

The former two-mile relay has been re-gaining popularity since it was added to the state meet menu in 2023, when the Del Norte girls’ team won in 8:55.99.

San Diego teams had participated in the event at Mt. Sac as far back as the 1960’s, when a Grossmont squad of Dick Monahan, Reo Nathan, Bruce Rogers, and Joe O’Connor ran 8:06.4, converted to a 3,200 meters time of 8:01.5.

A Clairemont squad of Henry Halleland, Tom Blake, Steve Rocha, and Larry Castillo had set a San Diego two-mile relay record of 7:59 in 1968. That time converts to a metric 7:55.9.

San Diego Section athletes in state top 25 are noted by Athletic.net, except any with the — designation. Marks in bold indicate new season best. The dual meet and invitational season will end by April 30, with league championships generally scheduled May 8.

2026 Track Week 2 Girls: Vikings’ Dailey Leads State in Two Events

La Jolla’s Chiara Dailey won the Arcadia Invitational mile in 4:41.12 last week, which converted to a 4:39.31 for 1,600 meters and put Dailey at the top of the list in California, along with her state-leading 9:53.8 for 3,200 meters.  Dailey ran 4:37.08 after the state meet and conclusion of her high school season in 2025, for a non-qualifying record.

Dailey, who reportedly is headed to Stanford University along with San Diego Section rival Jaelyn Williams of Eastlake, ranked third in the state in 2025 in the 800, 1,600, and 3,200.  Williams has not run outdoors in 2026.  She is believed to have sustained an injury after running indoors.

Big meet in California this week is the Mt. San Antonio Invitational in Walnut.

2026 Track Week 2 Boys: Bowman’s Blazing Arcadia 800 Takes State Lead

Josiah Bowman’s 1:49.54 victory in the 800 meters last week at the Arcadia Invitational put the Sage Creek senior in a neighborhood visited only by Bob Hose, a legendary runner from Madison in 1964.

Hose, running in the 1964 Pre-Olympic Invitational against college and international competitors, was hand timed in 1:49.2 for 880 yards in a fourth-place finish that is the only sub-1:50 clocking for the distance in County prep history.

The distance for 800 meters is 874.89 yards.  An electronically  timed  880 would be approximately 0.7 to 1.0 seconds slower, according to metric conversions. Hose’s converted time to 800 meters was 1:48.64.

Hose’s season ended in that June meet in Balboa Stadium.  Bowman, the state leader in the 800 and number 2  in the country behind the 1:49.00 by a North Carolina runner, has several big races and opportunities remaining in his 2026 season.
