Jason placed second in the second section of the seeded 3200m at Arcadia in a U.S. sophomore-class leading time of 8:54.17 in a race that saw the top nine all run under 9 minutes. Parra's time would have placed 15th in the invitational race where 23 boys went under 9 minutes.
It was Parra's first time under 9 minutes and he now ranks CA No. 8 overall.
