Princeton-bound senior steals the show at Southern California's prestigious meet; Del Norte stuns national field
Hannah Riggins admitted that after helping Del Norte High School set a San Diego Section record in the 4x800 relay on Friday night, she wanted to run the fastest 800-meter time on Saturday in the 55th Arcadia Invitational.
Del Norte’s girls stunned a national field by winning the 4x800 relay in 9:00.77, setting off a scramble to determine where that mark stood at various levels. Standing second at the baton pass, Riggins sizzled over the first 200 meters to catch the San Juan Capistrano JSerra runner, completing her first lap in 59 seconds. She didn’t slow down, either, giving anchor runner Paige Echsner a substantial lead which Echsner easily held.It’s the fastest time in the state this year, with JSerra’s 9:03.27 on Friday night in second place. It’s No. 3 for the year in the nation.
As is the case with most athletes, while the quartet celebrated setting the record and winning the prestigious event, they were each pondering what they might have done to reach their goal of a sub-9-minute time.
