Goltra Grinds out 8 Laps in 9:06.41 to Make State; Leach Runner-up in 1600m

In one of the fastest and deepest 3200m races in the NCS Meet of Champions' history, Aidan Goltra (14) battled to a 2nd consecutive state championship berth, holding on to 3rd place in the 3rd best time ever run by a Cougar athlete.

After De La Salle's Blair Hurlock paced the field through 1600m in 4:38, a pack of contenders broke away, including Hurlock, Redwood's Fred Huxam, Livermore's Todd Olson, and Goltra.

Hurlock continued to lead, with Huxam in tow and Goltra clinging to 3rd as they passed through 6 laps.

While Huxam and Hurlock edged away in the final 600m, Goltra showed impressive grit, holding off Olson to claim the final state qualifying spot and knock 4 second off his previous best time. The senior veteran ran his final mile in 4:28.

Returning to Fresno with Goltra will be Brighie Leach (15), who earned her spot with a runner-up performance in the 1600m, shaving half a second from her Tri-Valley mark of a week ago.

Sarah Cella (16) just missed the state championships, finishing 4th in the 800m in 2:17.11, the 2nd fastest result of her young career.

Leach returned to the track in the 3200m with teammate Mary Orders (15). Orders and Leach both earned a place on the medal stand, finishing 5th and 6th, respectively.

Parker Lothamer (15) wrapped up his year with an improvement in the 800m to grab 9th place in 1:58.86. The time puts him 11th on the Campolindo all-time list.

After running to 3rd all-time in the 300 hurdles at Friday's trials, Marcus Harland-Dunaway (14) finished 6th in the 110 hurdles in Saturday's finals.
