Poly ran away with the team points, with 194 points on the boys’ side (second place was Lakewood and Wilson, tied at 68), and 219 on the girls’ side (second was Wilson at 103, followed by Millikan at 90), but the meet really emphasized how deep the league is in every event, with Ashley Smith and Paisley Pettway from Millikan performing well, and Wilson’s Seth George and Fabrina Espinoza both placing in multiple events as well.
Below, we’re going to list all the athletes who’ve qualified to move on to CIF—those marked with an asterisk advance as an at-large bid. The order they’re listed in is how they finished, so the number ones are league champs.
