by Larry EderLast night, the Arcadia Invitational proved once again, that the next generation of American track & field may be one of the finest in decades. 25 high school boys broke 9 minutes for two miles (3200 meters) and ten broke 8 minutes, 50 seconds. The winning time was 8:41.46, a new meet record at Arcadia, run by Cooper Teare (St. Joseph Notre Dame, headed to Oregon next fall). Remember, long runs build strength, do not miss them!
