The 54th Arcadia Invitational attracted high school track and field competitors from 29 states and undoubtedly rewrote the rankings across each one of those. For CA, there were 20 state-leading marks, seven of which are also new national leaders.
It's just what that meet does: Brings out the best of everyone in a highly competitive setting. That's the objective, at least.
