High school fantasy sports are here

Still looking for a place to create your very own high school fantasy sports team?

Look no further than dyestatcal.com, a prominent track and field website, which is offering a free fantasy sports league based on the performances of the top boys and girls distance runners in the state.

In order to join, persons must choose a team of seven prep distance runners, with the quality of the runners separated into tiers. Each team gets two elite runners from tier one, two runners from tier two, two runners from tier three, and one at-large runner from tier four.

The scoring is complex, and it is described in detail on the site.

The local "tier one" runners on the boys' side are Michael Cybulski (Royal of Simi Valley) and Cory Primm (Westlake), while Shannon Murakami (Saugus) and Anna Sperry (Simi Valley) both received the distinction on the girls' side.

The site does not include athletes from other track and field events, but it promises to alter the scope if the concept catches on.

The site also promises to update results weekly, while the prize for first place includes a pair of adidas running shoes.
