When was the last time....
A boy from Sonoma County finished first at the state track and field championships?
Between 1927 and now, there's been only one: Mel Gray of Montgomery won both the 100 meters and 200 meters in 1967. Montgomery finished second in the team standings with 16 points, based solely on Gray's two sprints.

Comment: so why aren't more football players running track? Or are most of the sprinters actually from football?
