California State Meet History (1915-1999)
2 mile recollection from Ralph Serna: Tough era! And virtually all those times were run on dirt or cinders! That book cover was the ‘75 CA State 2Mile final at Balboa Stadium in San Diego. A terrible rubberized asphalt. So hot Brian Hunsaker had to be carried off because of blisters and he was on crutches for a week after! Roy Kissin finished 3rd and Mitch Kingery 4th. 1 Kevin Williams San Fernando LA # 09.4 100Y 1975 2 Elijah Jefferson Crawford SD 09.5 100Y 1975 3 Ricki Jackson Pasadena S 09.5 100Y 1975 4 Joel Andrews W Bakersfield C 09.6 100Y 1975 5 Maurice Glass Castlemont O 09.6 100Y 1975 6 Don Tillman Huntington Park LA 09.6 100Y 1975 H1- 100Y 1975 H1-1 Elijah Jefferson Crawford SD 09.4 100Y 1975 equals State record: Gray (S Rosa) '67 & Jefferson (Crawford) '74 H1-2 Kevin Williams San Fernando LA 09.5 100Y 1975 H1-3 Billy Mullins Hamilton LA 09.6 100Y 1975 H1-4 100Y 1975 H1-5 100Y 1975 H1-6 White Berkeley NC 09.7 100Y 1975 H1-7 Bradley Johnson-Sac'to SJ 09.8 100Y 1975 H1-8 Ron Anderson Santa Teresa CC 09.9 100Y 1975 H2- 100Y 1975 H2-1 Joel Andrews W Bakersfield C 09.4 100Y 1975 equals State record: Gray (S Rosa) '67 & Jefferson (Crawford) '74 H2-2 Miller Ells NC 09.7 100Y 1975 H2-3 Glenn Cannon Mt Pleasant CC 09.7 100Y 1975 H2-9 Benbow Kearny SD 10.1 100Y 1975 H3- 100Y 1975 H3-1 Maurice Glass Castlemont O 09.6 100Y 1975 H3-2 Ricki Jackson Pasadena S 09.6 100Y 1975 H3-3 Don Tillman Huntington Park LA 09.6 100Y 1975 100Y 1975 1 Robert Gaines Kennedy NC 13.3 120HH 1975 2 Dedy Cooper Ells NC 13.3 120HH 1975 NR in trials (13.2) 3 John Peterson Saddleback S 13.3 120HH 1975 4 Wilbur Gregory Mission Viejo S 13.6 120HH 1975 5 Ron Kennedy Serramonte CC 14.0 120HH 1975 6 Dennis Claxton Skyline O 14.2 120HH 1975 H1- 120HH 1974 H1-1 Dedy Cooper Ells NC 13.2 120HH 1975 Equals Nat'l record, Mike Roberson, Winter Park, FL H1-2 John Peterson Saddleback S 13.5 120HH 1975 H1-3 Turner Cypress ? 14.0 120HH 1975 ?Section H1-4 120HH 1975 H1-5 120HH 1975 H1-6 120HH 1975 H1-7 Don Finley Cupertino CC 15.1 120HH 1975 H1-8 Tyler Balboa SF 15.1 120HH 1975 H1-9 Byerly La Jolla SD 15.1 120HH 1975 H2- 120HH 1975 H2-1 Robert Gaines Kennedy NC 13.5 120HH 1975 H2-2 Wilbur Gregory Mission Viejo S 14.1 120HH 1975 H2-3 Turner Kennedy NC 14.1 120HH 1975 H3- 120HH 1975 H3-1 Ron Kennedy Serramonte CC 13.9 120HH 1975 H3-2 Dennis Claxton Skyline O 14.1 120HH 1975 H3-3 Robinson Sacramento SJ 14.1 120HH 1975 H3-4 120HH 1975 H3-5 120HH 1975 H3-6 Armour Morse ? 14.5 120HH 1975 ?Section 120HH 1975 1 Billy Mullins Hamilton LA 21.2 220Y 1975 2 Joel Andrews W Bakersfield C 21.2 220Y 1975 3 Lew McGlothin Compton S 21.3 220Y 1975 4 Kevin Williams San Fernando LA 21.3 220Y 1975 5 Elijah Jefferson Crawford SD 21.4 220Y 1975 6 220Y 1975 7 220Y 1975 8 Kieth Taylor Piedmont Hills CC 21.7 220Y 1975 H3- 220Y 1975 H3-8 Mike Greggans Woodside CC NT 220Y 1975 220Y 1975 1 Dedy Cooper Ells NC 36.5 330LH 1975 2 Otis Hunter Pasadena S 36.7 330LH 1975 3 John Thompson Morningside S 37.1 330LH 1975 4 Mike Miller St Bonazventure S 37.1 330LH 1975 5 Don Finley Cupertino CC 37.4 330LH 1975 6 Tony Hicks Serramonte CC 37.5 330LH 1975 7 330LH 1975 8 Dave Jakle Los Altos CC NT 330LH 1975 9 Starmer Chico N NT 330LH 1975 H2- 330LH 1975 H2-6 Kako Sunset NC 38.4 330LH 1975 H2-7 Terry La Sierra NC 38.8 330LH 1975 H3- 330LH 1975 H3-9 Batton Mission SF NT 330LH 1975 330LH 1975 1 Ells NC 41.2 440R 1975 2 Wilson SF 41.3 440R 1975 3 Pasadena S 41.4 440R 1975 4 Compton S 41.5 440R 1975 5 Barstow Kennedy S 41.9 440R 1975 6 Kearny SD 42.0 440R 1975 H1- 440R 1975 H1-1 Compton S 41.4 440R 1975 H1-2 Muir S 41.8 440R 1975 H1-3 Wilson SF 41.8 440R 1975 H1-DQ Crawford SD DQ 440R 1975 passed out of lane H2- 440R 1975 H2-1 Ells NC 41.1 440R 1975 H2-2 Barstow Kennedy S 41.5 440R 1975 H2-3 San Fernando LA 41.9 440R 1975 H3- 440R 1975 H3-1 Pasadena S 41.5 440R 1975 H3-2 Monroe LA 42.0 440R 1975 H3-3 Kearny SD 42.0 440R 1975 440R 1975 1 Johnny Ware Sacramento SJ 47.2 440Y 1975 2 Brian Theriot Newport Harbor S 47.6 440Y 1975 3 Bill Hunt N Hollywood LA 47.7 440Y 1975 4 Don Coulter Harbor CC 48.2 440Y 1975 5 Delbert Smith Pasadena S 48.3 440Y 1975 6 Jeffrey Sexton Compton S 48.6 440Y 1975 H1- 440Y 1975 H1-9 Isler Castlemont OK NT 440Y 1975 H3- 440Y 1975 H3-6 Wyatt Bishop Carlmont CC NT 440Y 1975 H3-7 Jimenez De La Salle NC NT 440Y 1975 H3-8 Meteer San Martin NC NT 440Y 1975 440Y 1975 1 Conrad Suhr Leigh CC 1:51.0 880Y 1975 2 Dan Aldridge Petaluma NC 1:51.5 880Y 1975 3 Tom Hacche Birmingham LA 1:51.8 880Y 1975 4 Randy Jones N Bakersfield C 1:52.6 880Y 1975 5 Leonard Ledet Washington LA 1:53.7 880Y 1975 6 Paul Becklund Henry SD 1:53.8 880Y 1975 H1- 880Y 1975 H1-1 Dan Aldridge Petaluma NC 1:51.8 880Y 1975 H1-2 Tom Hacche Birmingham LA 1:52.1 880Y 1975 H1-3 Paul Becklund Henry SD 1:52.3 880Y 1975 H2- 880Y 1975 H2-1 Conrad Suhr Leigh CC 1:53.4 880Y 1975 H2-2 Flynn San Gorgonio 1:54.3 880Y 1975 Section?

Notes from Doug Speck - dated 02/02/2002
Everyone from Hulst to Lara ran between 8:51.8 and 9:16.5 for a full two miles in their State qualifier -
interesting good group influenced by the longer distances preached by New Zealand's Arthur Lydiard and others in the mid to late
1960's. Hulst's 8:44.9 is still among the top ten prep times ever run, with Serna's 8:45.9 making him the #9 prep in U.S. History (Hulst's
8:44.6 1976 best makes him #7). Hunt would run 8:45.2 to win the Arcadia Invite in 1976 for his prep best ever (#8 U.S. Prep in history).
Ajim Bakish (Hollywood) ran 12 miles 254 yards in an hour in what was a popular event back at that time--that's under 5:00 miles for an
entire hour with no rest! Bakish was also 14:04.2 for three miles that year on the track, with Richard Aguirre (above picture on the inside)
14:05.4 for 3 on the track. Eric Hulst was 28:22.8 for 6 miles on the track that year, with a 28:55.0 for a full 10k on the track the next year of
1976!. Thom Hunt raced 2:24.06 for the marathon in 1976, with Bakish 2:27.52 in 1974! Seventeen Californians ran under 9:08.3 for two
miles in 1975 (worth about 9:05 for 3200)!
