Should OAL merge with NCS?: This comes up at the end of every season, here is an article on it from 1999.
CA State Track History (1915-1941): #8(and last)-21st State Meet ('35) saw the SS split into two (LA & SS). In the HJ, once you commit to a height you HAD to clear it before moving up and a one foot take off was now considered legal. The State Meet continued to be rotated between all Sections with LA being added into that rotation. SF high schools were added as the 6th Section in 1937. In '38 (held at Hollister HS) the TJ was added as an exhibition event and the 120 HH were lowered from 42" to 39". A motion to eliminate the State Meet was made but was defeated 6-3. In '39 the Football Throw was eliminated. Torrance HS had another great miler (John Hall) who broke Louis Zamperini's State Record - Hall's coach... Louis Zamperini's brother, Pete. 1940 had a gate admission of $0.40 for adults. A gold in the 220LH and a State Meet title was lost when it was decided that the diving finisher (who's upper half of his body had finished 1st) actually was awarded last for that's when his ENTIRE body finally crossed the finish. Bamboo poles were no longer used since the supply came from Japan. This was the last State Meet to be held until 1946, when the was was over. #7-The "Depression Years" saw the use of starting blocks. There were over 200 participants, a record. Sacramento, Santa Ana & San Diego all tied for the title with 11 points and scoring was changed to 5-4-3-2-1. The javelin was still being contested in 1931. In 1932 the discus was eliminated because of danger for the spectators and the football throw was added. In '33 the javelin was also dropped. At the 20th State Meet (1934) it was decided that the meet would be held on the 4th Saturday of May, every year. The Mile record was finally broken (4:27.8) by Louis Zamperini, the "Torrence Tempest" (he wasn't called the "Tornado" until his college days at USC). Seven Meet Records (out of 12 events) were broken in 1934 proclaiming this meet as the "Greatest State Meet in history". #6-1927 if you ran in the 440, 880 or mile you could run in no other event except the relay. Relay runners had to run in the trials if they wanted to run in the finals, no substitutions. The winner of the 100 (9 3/5 tied WR) actually ran 101 yds because of a false start he committed. The first DQ in the Mile occured, the winner was DQ'd for cutting in. The first 3 placers in the Section Meets received round-trip fare to the State Meet. In 1929 scoring was changed to 5-3-2-1-.5 and times were now recorded to the 1/10th. There was still discussion on whether the State Meet should be eliminated or not. The State Record in the Mile was still 4:30.0 set in 1915. #5-1920 (6th Meet) saw the rule of no coaches on the infield. It was also suggested that the State Meet be discontinued. The 1922 meet was held in Stockton and the city was required to pay ALL expences in addition to $500 to the treasury. The meet was held on a MILE track at the fairgrounds. The winning team got an all expences paid trip to the NIT meet in Chicago. Watches were marked to the 1/5th of a second. Most tracks were cinder, hurdles were not adjustable and holes were dug in the ground (no starting blocks). In 1924, Lee Barnes (Hollywood High) won the PV and then won the Olympic Gold that same year with an Olympic Record of 12-11 1/2. #4-The 3rd State Meet almost found the dismissal of the mile for concerns that it was too strenuous for HS athletes. Relay zones were introduced (vs the standing touch handoff). A perpetual trophy given to the winning team had all winners names engraved on it. In the 4th annual meet (1918) a false start rule was enacted - for every false start, a competitor had to start 1 yard further back. A committee was also formed that selected the participants with no more than 5 athletes per Section, per event being allowed. The 4th Saturday in April was chosen as the new date for all State Meets, with trials in the morning and finals in the afternoon or evening. The 440 was run on a straightaway. The CIF was informed that they were personally laiable for any accidents that occured at the State Meet, this led to the Javelin being eliminated in 1919. Sweats were not heard of, athletes generally wore a bathrobe or old pair of pants at the track. #3-The 2nd State Meet was held in LA on April 8th and it was LA City's responsibility to take care of (house & feed) all of the competitors. There was a $38.20 profit turned over from the 1st meet to help with this. Only those that placed in the Top 3 at their Section meet were invited to compete. The javelin went from being an exhibition event to a scoring event. Manual Arts won once again with 37 1/2 points. #2-In the early 1900's, HS Track Meets were organized and run by colleges - most notably Stanford, Cal, USC, Occidental & Pomona. In 1914 the Commissioner of HS in the state, met with others and split the State into four Sections and the California Interscholastic Federation was formed. On Feb 8th, 1915 in San Francisco this committee met to plan for the 1st Annual California State Meet Championships. Proposals came from Stanford, Cal and the City of Fresno. Fresno was selected and on April 3, 1915 the first State Meet took place with the following events: 100yd, 440yd, 220yd LH, 880R, DT, PV, LJ, SP (12 lb) & LJ (5-3-2-1 scoring). Manual Arts LA won with 25 points. #1-Did you know that the first HS Field Day (track meet) was supposedly held in California at UC Berkeley on May 3rd, 1879. The events contested were the 100yd (standing start), LJ (standing), LJ (running), SP (16 lbs), 120yd hurldes (standing start, 42"), HJ (standing), HJ (running), 440, TJ, 3 jumps (?), high kick (?), baseball throw & 220. The track at Berkeley then must've been interesting for their cinder running track wasn't installed until 1883.

Mike Lawryk: I am a pole-vaulting coach who recently moved here from the east coast to be with family. We settled into the area and I am starting to look around for coaching opportunities as I really miss the sport. Do you have a coach on staff? Might you know anyone looking for a PV coach? I am open to any opportunity and would have availability to make 4 afternoon practices a week. I also brought 40 poles with me to the west coast, with an eye on starting up a new crop of athletes once we were settled in here. I am formerly the vault coach at Moravian College, and a small pole-vaulting club called Vertical Assault on the East Coast. I've coached from beginners to elites on both the boys and girls sides. My best high school boys range from 15-16'6" and my best high school girls have ranged from 12' - 13'6" over the years. In 2013, I had 9 girls over 12ft, and in 2012, my athletes swept every division (there are 4 divisions) of the PA State Championships. I was named national HS coach of the year in 2011, and just plain love the sport. If you are looking, or know someone looking for a coach, let me know. Happy to help.

McFarland USA: McFarland USA was a very enjoyable film, especially if you're from the SCVAL since the nemesis school was Palo Alto HS. Furthermore, the coaches name for Paly in the film was Jameson and those that know XC history in the Bay Area will know that Forrest Jamieson (pronounced the same way) coached at Paly in the mid-50's thru the 70's and is considered the "Father Of Cross Country" in the Bay Area for getting Center Meets started at Stanford and instigating the National Postal format.
