The CIF State Meet is arguably the One True State Meet among all the states of our nation, because ALL of California feeds into a single championship meet - no classifications, no separate sanctioning bodies for independent schools. Only 3 athletes can advance to the state meet from most of the sections, including the SJS. Below is a pre-season list of the contenders for those three berths in the field events. Don't forget to check out yesterday's articles on the Sac Joaquin Section sprints & hurdles!
