| 1600, 3200 | Stricken by a virus at State, Brown was nowhere near her usual self in Clovis. She ran both the 1600 prelims and 3200 final but was hardly the US-ranked distance star she had been all season. Note that Brown's 4:45.46 from the Mt. SAC Relays is CA #6 and US #10 and her SDS-record 3200 of 10:15.97 from the Escondido Invitational is CA #7, US #15 and US #10 in the class. | ||
| HJ | Despite a coaching change, Burke was again at her best on the biggest stage, jumping a PR and winning a State title for the second year in a row, one of only two champions from 2017 to defend. Oddly, Burke was declared a co-champion with Long Beach Wilson sophomore Rachel Glenn when meet management decided to buck the traditional rules and not conduct a jump-off. | ||
| 1600, 3200 | Like Brown above, Castillo wasn't not at her best at the State final. Nonetheless, she is one of the elites in the US ranking #4 in the 3200 (10:06.47 for 1st at SS Masters) and #6 for 1600 (4:43.69 at Mt. SAC). Castillo proved to have a short memory, winning the 1-Mile at Brooks PR a week later in 4:41.40 which converts to 4:39.77 for 1600, the the eighth-fastest time in CA history. | ||
