Andreas Dybdahl, Santa Barbara High School, repeats as 1600m winner. "Dybdahl out-sprinted Ventura’s Anthony Fast Horse down the home stretch to repeat as state champion in a time of 4:08.23. He ran 4:08.64 in last year’s meet." Both went 1, 2 in 2023.
Definitely a strategic race best suited for the 800 m sprinters in the bunch. 4:08 not particularly fast for CA state finals. We’ve seen faster. But hey, the kid got the dub! That’s all that matters.
