Her former Sharks teammate, Arkansas-bound senior Braelyn Combe, who won the state 1,600-meter title in the spring was seventh Saturday in 16:11.1.

The production used the towns of Salcombe and Combe Martin and built interiors at Pinewood Studios, including the impressive house Theo eventually designs for the couple.

Thomsen was involved in another stretch duel in the girls’ 1,600 versus another Corona Santiago runner Braelyn Combe, who did not realize she won until times were posted on the scoreboard.

Combe, a junior who took second in the 1,600 last year, credits her victory to training with Blade, who she called “unbelievable.”

“It’s a blessing to have her on my team, she’s the best pacing partner,” said Combe, who capped off her day by anchoring the Sharks’ 4x800-meter relay, which ran 8:49.01 to establish a new state meet record.
