About a month ago I noticed that the SBAA had resumed their profiles on community runners. I got to thinking and thought how it could be kind of fun to do a San Marcos version of runner profiles on our distance squad. So, this is our first San Marcos Distance Profile, featuring sophomore Evan Bradford. [...]
For many on the San Marcos Track and Field team, Thursday’s (5/2) League Finals marked the end to their 2008 season. For others, the meet acted as the first stepping-stone on the road towards the C.I.F. State Meet. While the junior varsity participants saw their last meet/competition, four senior Royal distance runners qualified [...]
This past Thursday (April 24th) the Royals played host to the Santa Barbara Dons vs. San Marcos dual meet. The meet also signified the last dual meet of the track season, before CIF Prelims begin on the 10th of May in Moorpark. The varsity girls raced to a 100-26 point victory over Santa [...]
Mid-distance/distance (she will sometimes race the 1600m) standout junior Kalley Ridgway has recently been awarded the Phil Womble Award at this weeks round table. Harry’s restaurant hosts the lunch time round table, where the local high schools and colleges converge and bring with them their most outstanding athletes. Dave Pintard presented this month’s honoree, as [...]

For the singer it’s Carnegie Hall, for the soccer player it’s the World Cup, for the football player it’s the super bowl, and for the high school track runner it is the Arcadia Invitational. The talent at this meet is rarely [...]

This past Friday a handful of San Marcos athletes had the chance to compete at the prestigious Arcadia Invitational. Temperatures hovered near the 90 degree mark as competition got underway. The Arcadia Invite is divided up into two parts, one being the “day/open meet” and the second being the nationally recognized “night meet”. Event [...]
What a tough meet this was! Going into the meet, the varsity girls seemed like they would take the victory on paper…if everyone ran/jumped/threw where they were supposed to. On the boys side, it came apparent while working the numbers that it was going to be a tough win. It was possible to steal the [...]
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 [...]
