Royal Twilight Invitational Results
Last Saturday was the team’s first chance of the season to really test their overall fitness. It was rumored that twenty-five teams would assemble at the Royal High School in Simi Valley for their non-scoring twilight invitational. The team left San Marcos around 6:45 a.m. in four school buses and we bumped our way along the 101 all the way to Royal High, arriving just after 8:00 a.m. Going into the meet a lot of our younger distance athletes were both nervous and excited to throw it down with the insanely large fields in their respected events. The meet got underway smoothly, but it didn’t take long for it to begin to fall behind schedule with the inundation of athletes swarming the track facilities. Soon we realized that the meet was running about 2 hrs. behind and that we would be lucky to get back to Santa Barbara before 10 p.m. The extra waiting around did not seem to really matter as our distance squad competed very well. By the day’s end many great first meet times were posted and we rolled back onto San Marcos territory around 10:45 p.m…below you will find the results of San Marcos athletes who raced in the 1600 meter, 800 meter and the 3200 meter races.
