The theater energy at my AMC in Glendale was electric tonight for Avengers: Endgame Encore. Claps for all the big moments, tears were shed. I personally really enjoyed the bonus footage.
Got me even more hyped for Doomsday.
LFG.

ASU head coach Kenny Dillingham is in attendance for the Mountian View vs. Mesa game.
ASU already has a commitment from Mesa ‘27 WR Kingston Anetema.
They also offered a golden ticket this summer to Mesa ‘28 DL Sione Taueli.

So that’s where Kenny Dillingham decided to go this weekend.
Makes sense, considering Mesa already has one 1 ASU commit and another one of their 2028 Golden Ticket recipients, Sione Taueli.

Story from last night’s Desert Twilight, where suspected food poisoning made for a tough evening for Flagstaff star distance runner Yohanes van Meerten.
The Arizona 5K state record lives to see another year.

His progression/sudden rise to stardom has been incredible too. I remember hearing about him like he was an urban legend with how sparingly he ran his first two years.

I don’t think people realize how rare this is in cross country, especially at the high school level.
With an NIL deal with On Running, a scholarship to Oregon and multiple state records, van Meerten is quickly becoming one of the most recognizable faces in the sport.
Just wanted to share this.
Here’s Flagstaff’s Yohanes van Meerten after the race tonight. He had a line of people waiting to take photos with him, including the race winner himself.
I’ve been involved with the cross country/track and field since 2008, and I’ve never seen anything like this.
Kid is a rockstar.

More important context:
van Meerten believes he has food poisoning as he kept throwing up into the night, which explains why he was feeling so sick.
He’s not sure what the culprit is.
Running 14:42 while sick is insane.
Post race interview with Flagstaff senior Yohanes van Meerten after his 4th-place finish at Desert Twilight.
“I still ran the best I could. I never throw up, so that’s how I knew I was pushing myself more than I usually do…But at the end of the day, it’s OK because all that matters is when we get to December (Nike Cross Nationals).”

Flagstaff senior Yohanes van Meerten runs 14:42.0 to finish 4th overall at Desert Twilight.
It was a tough night for van Meerten, who said he threw up in a race for the very first time in his career.
