Notable Runners
This meet has attracted many notable runners. On March 16, 2007, Jordan Hasay, then a student at Mission College Preparatory, set a sophomore national record in the 3200 meters with a time of 10:04.07. She achieved this while Kim Mortensen and Jeff Nelson, both long-standing U.S. record holders in that event, cheered her on. Michael Coe, the 2006 Nike Indoor Nationals 3200m champion, ran the year before with a 9:04 3200m against another superb group of runners. This race was the last on the track under the lights and featured stars such as Coe, Ben Sitler, Ted Price, Jake Matthews, Kent Morikowa, and others. Also in 2003, future state champion Duane Solomon ran a state-leading 1:51.44 800m split.
Some other notable runners include Ted Price (distance events), Richard Sherman (triple jump), Dayshan Ragans (throws), Porchea Carroll (sprints), Ben Sitler (3200), and Spencer and Dylan Knight (distance events).

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or runners:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Why runners make lousy communists. In a word, individuality. It’s the one characteristic all runners, as different as they are, seem to share.... Stick with it. Push yourself. Keep running. And you’ll never lose that wonderful sense of individuality you now enjoy. Right, comrade?”
—quoted in Guardian (London, Dec. 29, 1984)
