DOUBLE CHAMPIONS

Here's the list of multiple-event champions:

• Jocelynn Budwig (Fowler/CS) -- shot put (49-02.75) and discus throw (171-10). 

• Caleb Foster (Clovis North/CS) -- long jump (25-00/2.3) and triple jump (49-09.50/2.8) and was second in the 110 hurdles (13.71/3.3). Foster is the first to win both jumps since Castro Valley's Nate Moore did it twice, 2013-14, and only the third in the last 40 years.  
• Jazlynn Shearer (Silver Creek/CC) -- 100 hurdles (13.24/2.9) and triple jump (41-01/2.7) (and was second in the long jump: 19-10.75). Shearer is the fourth girl to win the triple jump and the 100 hurdles in the same meet, which had been accomplished four times previously, twice by Agoura's Tara Davis (2016-17).

NOTES, ET CET ... 

• Upland freshman Caelyn Harris stole the show in the long jump, wowing the crowd at Veterans Memorial Stadium with a winning jump of 20-08.50 (1.3), which is a wind-legal U.S. No. 1. After fouling on her first two attempts, she needed a legal jump to continue on in the competition. And she delivered with a 20-05.50 (-0.2). She then followed that with what would be her winning jump. 
• Valencia senior Kai Wingo, the class of the 800 all season, saved his best for last, coming from the pack to win in a CA-leading time of 1:51.71 (U.S. No. 15).
• Stockton St. Mary's junior Jamar Marshall posted a U.S. No. 1 all-conditions time of 13.31 (3.2) in winning the 110 hurdles. Caleb Foster's 13.67 for second ranks U.S. No. 7. Joseph Anderson's 2017 meet record of 13.33 was preserved thanks to the wind.
• Caleb Lutalo Roberson's 36.32 to repeat as 300 hurdles champ, ranks U.S. No. 2 with runner-up Reyte Rash of Riverside King at U.S. No. 3 with his 36.41. (Note: Marshall's 36.74 as the top time out of Friday's qualifying, ranks U.S. No. 6.)
• Caleb Foster's winning mark in the triple jump (49-09.50/2.8) is CA No. 1, U.S. No. 7 for all-conditions.
• Chino Hills sophomore Jacqueline Duarte, third in the 1600 as a freshman, used a strong finishing lap to finish in 4:42.58, CA No. 1/U.S. No. 3. Buchanan senior Meagen Lowe was second with a CA No. 2/U.S. No. 6 time of 4:43.61. How fast was that race? Pasadena Mayfield sophomore Audrey Suarez, fifth here a year ago as a freshman, moved up two places to third with her CA No. 3/U.S. No. 8 time of 4:45.00. And, Village Christian sophomore Mia Barnett, sixth here last year as a freshman, moved up two spots to fourth while clocking a CA No. 5/U.S. No. 12 time of 4:46.12. Duarte's winning time was the fastest since Tesoro's Amanda Gehrich went 4:39.33 and surpassed the 2018 winning time by two-time champion Maddy Denner (4:42.77). 
• Kristin Fahy's winning time in the 3200 of 10:11.38 ranks CA No. 1/U.S. No. 8. Buchanan junior Corie Smith's runner-up time of 10:17.39 slots as CA No. 3/U.S. No. 15. Del Oro freshman Riley Chamberlain's time of 10:21.31 ranks as CA No. 6 and the No. 1 time in the U.S. for girls in the class of 2022.

• Jazlynn Shearer's winning time in the 100 hurdles of 13.24 (2.9) ranks as the best in the U.S. this season under all conditions. Stockton Edison senior Cyvanna Bowen's runner-up time of 13.54 is U.S. No. 7. Shearer's time is the fastest since Agoura's Tara Davis went 12.83 in 2017 in 2015 and the fifth fastest since 1993.

• Jocelynn Budwig's winning 171-10 in the discus is CA No. 1 and U.S. No. 2 and her winning mark in the shot put of 49-02.75 is CA No. 1 and U.S. No. 3.

• Monterey Trail senior and Air Force-bound football standout Zachary Larrier didn't make last year's final of the 400, running 48.83 in qualifying. What a difference a year makes. Larrier, not long after anchoring the 4x100 relay team to victory over favored teams like Long Beach Poly and Clovis North, he ripped off a 46.73 to hold off Harvard Westlake senior Brayden Borquez (46.83) and win the 400 title. 
• The story is similar for Jesuit junior Chase Gordon, whose 1:57.25 had him well back in the pack in qualifying. But Saturday night, his 1:51.74 was good for second place behind Wingo in a race that produced the state's top five times this season.
• Buchanan senior Shelby Daniele was 19th in the 200 prelims last year, running 25.15. Today she is a state 200-meter champion after her stunning 23.73 (1.6) to beat a field that included Jazmyne Frost (23.83), Chinyere Okoro (23.86), Saundria Martin (23.94) and De'Anna Nowling (23.98). Only Nowling's state-best 23.64 was faster this season than those top four girls. Daniele's previous PR was 24.01 from the State Prelims and before that, 24.18 from the TRAC Championships May 2. That's a .43 PR in just over three weeks. 
• In his last three 3200 races of the season, Newbury Park junior Nico Young ran 8:54.98 to win the Southern Section Divisional title, 8:56.46 to win the CIF-SS Masters Meet, and 8:47.27 to win the CIF-State title leaving the likes of Liam Anderson (8:53.28), defending eight-lap champion Matt Strangio (8:57.69) and Peter Herold (8:58.34) -- all under 9 minutes and all well back in the vapor trail. And it was the first time in a few years where that race didn't come down to a sprint finish. Young ripped off a series of 66-second laps to leave the elite field in the dust and came into the bell lap at an announced 7:43. Young's time is the fastest winning time since Riverbank's German Fernandez set the meet record of 8:34.23 in 2008 and the sixth fastest winning time dating to 1965.
• USC-bound senior Jazmyne Frost, who almost single-handedly led Gardena Serra to the team title in 2018, placed third in the 100 (11.64) and second in the 200 (23.83) a year after placing second in the 100 (11.61) and third in the 200 (23.76). As a sophomore, Frost was eighth in the 100 (11.93).

• Up next, quite a few of the stars from the meet are planning post-CIF competition, including Viveros, who is headed to the Ironwood Throws in Idaho before leaving for Ole Miss; Nowling said she has a hefty U-20 schedule planned before leaving for Miami; sophomore distance runners Audrey Suarez (Mayfield/SS) and Mia Barnett (Village Christian/SS) said they will run in the adidas Dream Mile in mid-June in Boston. Boys 3200 champion Nico Young said he was done competing until cross country. Same with girls 3200 champion Kristin Fahy, who said she will enjoy a little bit of summer before checking in at Stanford.
• There were 80 girls schools that scored at least half a point and 72 boys teams that scored at least one point.
• The two-day attendance at Veterans Memorial Stadium was 18,021. It did not rain.
