Do you think there was a better solution to the their lane placement. I think the interference with Westlake likely stemmed from the strange format.

The issue is that Dorsey submitted a change in their roster and that change, while submitted on time, did not get into the entries database. The Clerk of the Course did not let the new runner run because they weren't on the roster. Dorsey protested and it was discovered that they did submit the change but the deadline, but it didn't get in the database. By the time all of this was sorted out, the prelims had been run and the 9 finalists were determined.

Can someone explain the Dorsey DQ, protest and ruling. It seems very strange to me that a runner would be ruled ineligible if he was in fact eligible. In addition were they not allowed to run friday and hence why they had to take an extra lane in the final instead of bumping the last qualifier out? It seemed like sticking them waterfall-ed was bound to cause problems (as it did)

We are working on uploading all of the races. However, since we are only permitted to show highlights, it will take a bit longer as we need to edit footage of every race. I promise it's on the way!

Can anyone upload the 100 meters boys race?

Long Beach Poly wins in 3:11.86 for a new US#1!

So the Dorsey #1 just impeded Westlake #2. Not cool.

So if lane 2 stumbles out of the blocks there will be a collusion...I don't like it!

Dorsey is being placed out in lane 5 using the waterfall (distance) stagger and they will merge with Westlake in lane 1.

Boys 4x400 - 10 teams in 9 lanes as Dorsey won the protest of their DQ.

In Memorium - The Stanford Invitational, both track and cross-country, is a benchmark event for high school runners throughout California and the West. I remember back in September, 2007 the Bishton twins, Nadya and Nastia, traveled from Mountain Ridge High School, Glendale, Arizona to Stanford. They went 1-2 in the 5K, followed by the likes of Laurynne Chetelat, Jacque Taylor, and Deborah Maier! Seniors in that year, they were “showcasing their wares” in a matter of speaking, looking for potential schools to attend as NCAA Freshmen.
What made the Bishton twins unique, besides being twins, was the fact they were born in Russia, and seeing the photos floating around on Dystat and the other sites, one was taken aback by the beauty of both daughters and their mother Viktoria Bishton.
Months later the deals were made, Nastia to Arizona State University, Nadya to Wisconsin. Nadya only stayed a year. She would come back to California, transferring to San Jose State.
This weekend, on Saturday, marks four years that have passed since Nadya’s death. It was a tragedy for the family and the running community. Her sister stopped running within the year at Arizona State. Finding Nastia’s picture on her Arizona State Athletics bio site brought back a wealth of memories of both the girls, running at Arcadia, the FootLocker, Mt SAC, and everywhere else they competed, never too far away from each other in a race.
I met Nadya and her coach once, at the FootLocker down in San Diego. I was teasing her a little about the Hollywood sunglasses she was going to run in. But I told her Megan O’Reilly did very well in hers and it was OK. I also reminded her to put them up in her hair for the interviews after the race. You can’t hide eyes like that!
