Cooper Teare has the potential to produce the fastest boys time of the weekend in Friday night's D5 Sweepstakes. The California state 3200m champion was runner-up in this division last year in 14:48 to Jack Van Scoter (now of Georgetown), which stood as the seventh-fastest time of the entire meet. The fastest overall time in 2015 was 14:24 by Phillip Rocha, though Austin Tamagno ran the fastest time on Friday (14:36) in the early evening's much warmer conditions.
Teare is much improved--the senior ranks No. 6 on the Saucony Flo50 and ran 13:59 for runner-up honors at the Woodbridge Sweepstakes. He could potentially lead St. Joseph Notre Dame to the team title in this division, as it graduates just one runner from a squad that placed third last year.
