Congratulations to last week's winner, Jathiyah Muhammad, a sophomore at Dublin (NC)! This week's State Meet performer poll closes Friday at 9:01 pm.

Murrieta Mesa senior Cade Moran was one of four gifted athletes -- boys and girls -- to claim a coveted CIF-State title in either shot put or discus throws.

Winning the discus Friday meant having a great first throw. In the shot put, both winners needed a little more time to get a qualifying mark and it was worth it

We preview the top throwers for this weekend's CIF State Championships!

CIF-Central Section qualifiers for the state meet include Fresno Central boys' 4x100 relay record-setting effort, four wins by Jeremiah Walker and Takiya Cenci

The CS is loaded with marquee athletes and events across Saturday's track and field championship meet at Buchanan.
