For the last 12 years, beginning with the 2011 track season, Mt. Carmel High School has hosted a meet for just distance runners and field events. Sprints and hurdles are left out to make room for more heats of events over 400 meters. Our team is more sprint-oriented this season than usual, but we took a handful of field event athletes and a few participants in the 1600-meter run.

A comment about the meet from head coach Cameron Gary follows:
“…we took a few kids to the Field & Distance Carnival this past weekend at Mt. Carmel HS. It was our first competition this year. We had a couple of performances that stood out:
- Frosh Boys 1600m – NATHAN AYAN. He finished 8th (out of a field of 70 kids) His time was: 4:59.82. His time currently stands at #11 out of 146 Frosh boys in the San Diego CIF section.
- Varsity Boys Discus Throw – SAXTON SYLVESTER. He threw a Personal Record (PR) of 103′ 8.75.” He finished 20th out of a field of 83 varsity throwers. He currently stands 36th in the San Diego section (314 throwers).
Congratulations on our Islander athletes starting the year off strong!”
