Boys 800m
As with the San Diego and Central Sections, 3 athletes from LA City qualify to the California State Track and Field meet (unless you can surpass the 2017 At-Large Time Standards at your section final.) This section houses the defending girls state champions and tends to be best-known outside the area for it sprints & jumps talent, but LA City also has traditionally produced some potent distance-running talent. Let us know if we missed anyone in the comments below!
