She's currently number five in California with that 208 she threw down at Arcadia and she's immediately to the outside. But her teammate Katherine Willlet, Willlet has only run 225 a year ago and she already has a 211 with Claremont now running 112.

[00:08:14]So Gracie Smith usually like to see her run from behind and kind of kick. She is going to take charge right now and take this field out. That is Sophia Grant of Newberry Park in the all gold over black with Ruiz of Ontario and Valencia of Semi Valley currently in fifth and Gray Smith going to come through at 64 64.

That is, Leila Kirk, Brilen Comb, Brilen Comb looking to be the first time in division 1 history where a girl wins three straight 800 meter titles. We already saw her doing that in the 1600 meters. Meanwhile, her teammate on her left shoulder there, that's Samson of Santiago Lewis. And right now, everything is kind of coming down kind of a healthy pace. We're going to see some negative splits here, folks.

[00:12:10]Here we go. 64 64 for that whole group.

[00:12:16]It's Kirk, Comb, Samson, Lewis, Williams, Lewis, Nagasawa, and Comb now making her move here. She ran a 441 earlier today to get set a new D1 record, but everybody in it here with 250 meters to go. It's Cole and Samson AND GERSA PORTOA. SHE TOOK down a 54 on her split 800. But Brilland Comb sitting back KIND OF MAKING FRIENDS THERE, BUT NOW NO LONGER DOING SO. SHE IS OFF TO THE RACES, FOLKS. She has run a 5531 in the open 400.

[00:14:00]>> I mean, I've been blessed to be able to win the 1600 and 800 double. This is the third year doing it. So, this was definitely I've been telling my coach all week the hardest, toughest one yet.

[00:14:09]Tried to like progress every year and get faster every year. This one still felt the hardest. And the 800 especially was just such a loaded field and I've been worried about it and nervous all week. We took it out pretty hot. I don't know what the first 200 was, but it felt rough. Definitely a tough race and just really fun competition. and I'm looking forward to continuing the 800 pass um this week this year. So, knowing I can handle the tough double, I wasn't feeling um too good after the mile, I was nervous about how my legs would feel, but I think it's just every time you step on a line, um what you've accomplished doesn't really mean as much because anyone in the race can just want it more than you or want it [laughter] just as bad as you. So, I think that's what I had to be mindful of today in handling that double is just, you know, how bad do I want it? And I'll be continuing the double and um incorporating the forite next week. not today, but next week I'll hit the 4x8 too. So, I love staying busy at this meet these meets and um I think it's so cool and it's such a blessing to be able to have more than one event and go through these rounds of CIF. Make it into CIF is a really cool thing and so I just feel blessed to be in the position to get there in um three events. So,
