Selections are based on California boys in the class of 2024 ranking among the top 15 nationally in the class from results achieved at an outdoor invitational meet last weekend.
Duals, triangulars, indoor meets, and marks achieved other than at an outdoor invitational last weekend were not considered for inclusion in this article.
Marks are based on results processed into the MileSplit database as of 2 p.m. Tuesday. Rankings are subject to change as performances from around the country are added into the database.
This is intended to be a sampling of top athletes in the class from the past weekend. The MileSplit database allows for filtering rankings within the class, in CA and nationally, as well as breaking leaders down by CIF sections. We encourage you to check out this cool rankings tool.
