The San Diego Section (SDS) is unique in that it's qualifying meet has two divisional finals (Division I and II). The top 3 marks in each event qualify to the CA state Track and Field meet unless other athletes or relay teams surpass the 2016 At-Large Time Standards. It's very possible I could have missed an athlete or two so please chime in below on those athletes. Additional comments?
