The top boys' 5-kilometer performances produced at the Clovis XC Invitational meet history.

Malibu's Claudia Lane (CA) cruised to a 17:03.40 en route to victory at Foot Locker Nationals in 2017, posting the 18th fastest time run at Balboa Park.

Desert Vista's (AZ) Lauren Ping recorded the fastest out-of-state girls 3-mile at the Mt. Sac Invitational in 2019, running 16:47.00.

Some of these times are really, really fast; check out our full list below.

Always a good measuring point for the State meet, let's check out how the all-time list lines up!

Deep dive into the MileSplit database for top-40 individual event leaders at OC Champs since 2008.

Claudia Lane of Malibu was a two-time champion but where does her fastest time rank all-time among CA girls at the XC National Championships?

Sophia Nordenholz ran 16:46.00 to win D-IV last November, the No. 5 fastest time ever on the 5K Woodward Park course at the State Championships.

Which schools have the historical depth to line up the fastest distance medley relay all-star teams?

 Zack Torres (Sr., Crescenta Valley) and Alex Dunne (Sr., San Clemente) talk about the Championship season ahead and their final high school weeks.

Both have been running in the shadows of the likes of Jordan Hasay and Mac Fleet for most of their high school careers, but Saturday night's 3200 meter races at the Arcadia Invitational was sort of a coming out party for both Rancho Buena senior Collin Jarvis and San Clemente senior Alex Dunne in their monumental victories. Jarvis (pictured right by Margot Kelly) often faces Fleet, one of the nation's top milers, since both go to school in the San Diego area. Meanwhile, Dunn has plenty of achievements worthy of great name recognition, but when Jordan Hasay also competes in your state then its tough to share the spotlight and attention which is often focused on last year's US Olympic trials 1500 meter finalist.  

  Footlocker finalist Alex Dunne has chosen Stanford University. Story inside!

Each week here at MileSplit we will be giving you a quick look at four of the nation's best runners. Featured this week are Joash Osoro (ND), Alex Dunne (CA), Andrew Springer (RI) and Kaitlin Hanenburg (CO).

Hasay, Dunbar race to Sweepstakes victories at Mt. SAC. Saugus and Dana Hills claim team wins. Day 1 & 2 recaps, results posted.

Coming off back-to-back record-setting perfermances, Kodiak, Alaska senior Trevor Dunbar jumps to the top spot in the West. With a showdown at Mt. SAC looming, the question is: can he stay there?

The season really started to heat up this past weekend in California, as many of the top teams and individuals in the state headed to the Woodbridge Invitational and Mt. Carmel Invitational.

With so much action this past weekend, our coverage spilled over Monday into our weekly News & Notes section. The Woodbridge and Mt. Carmel Invitationals are highlighted, which saw some impressive individual and team results, including a few upsets. See what else took place, as well as our weekly look ahead.

With only six of the twenty Foot Locker finalists from last year returning back in 2008, the West seems to be wide open for newcomers to make names for themselves. Leading the way on the girls side is '05 national champion and '07 third placer Jordan Hasay (CA) (pictured above by John Herzog), while Chris Schwartz (CA) is the lone male national returnee.
