Good, we accelerate, accelerate.
Go after it. Yeah, there you go! Let's go, Noah!
And take advantage of both fresh men, 1-1-2. And I hope that the Maricostas on the outside—
that's Consamo in second. But your heat winner is going to be Perez, 2:20.
Fourth time.
2:20. Consamo from Maricosta will take second, 2:22.85. Volkemar Velcedondo, third, 2:22.99. So they move into your top 3 overall now. Perez, 2:20.49. Conslow, 2:20.285. And Fulcom are also now both 2:20.29. Brings us to our 5th and final heat. Heat number 5, you got Julian Morales of Eclipse Ranch, Alexis Ford of Roosevelt, Aubrey Suarez of Mayfield, sorry, uh, Fatima Cortes of Great Oak, Jackson Woodward of Vacaville, Chelsea Romo, Redlands, Eleni Mataris of La Cañada, Kaden Washington, West Branch, Tina Chavez of Chino, Alexandra Momelli, Notre Dame Academy, Dominika Villanueva of Redondo Union, Julianne Pierskowski of Spring Branch, Brittany Guerra, Palisades, Samantha Plasquez, Santiago, Aubrey Coleman, Alimay, Sofia Zago of El Segundo, Alexis Fernandez of West Branch, All right, ladies, good luck.
On your marks. Stage 4, top 4. It's a soft jump from Mansfield to the lead. Morais is still hanging on second, but Buzz trying to make a move on third. Aubrey Suarez to the line. That looks like it's going to be under 2:15, and it is.
2:15.
2:14.99.
Varela second, 2:17.63. Eleni Matsouris of La Canyada comes in third, 2:17.72. Pretty extraordinary run there from Audrey Suarez, backing up on her 1600 win earlier this morning, and I think what anybody would surely say is not the most ideal conditions with the wind, just ran the number 3 time in the state at 2:14.99. Morales second, 2:17.63, and then Ernie Matariz of Locking Out of the Softline third at 2:17.72. As we start lining up the boys 800 here, varsity, an impressive, impressive run from those top 3 ladies on track as the boys varsity 800 is the first of 5 heats. We'll get to their names in a minute, but first, your attention to the podium where we have the top 3 in the girls varsity 800. In 3rd place with a time of 2 minutes 17.72 seconds, Eleni Mataris of La Cañada High School. In 2nd place with a time of 2:17.63 from Scripps Ranch in San Diego, Julia Morales. And your winner of your 2019 Redonda Nike Invitational Champion with a winning time of 2 minutes 14.99 seconds, from Mayfield, Audrey Suarez!
