Stockdale boys and girls took the team  titles at the 2011 Kern Invite which was held on a cloudy cool evening. Stockdale freshman Blake Haney won the 800 and the 1600 with times of 1:59.22 and 4:32.13. His team mate Cameron Miller (Jr) won the 3200 in a time of 9:44.43 and came in second in the 1600 in a time of  4:33.35.

On the girl's side future C.S.U. Fullerton athlete and current Ridgeview senior Tijerra Lynch won the 800 in a time of  2:27.28 and came in 4th in the 400 (1:01.49). Driller senior Sarah Baker (who just signed to Northern Arizona University) won the 1600 and the 3200. Her 5:11.26 was a PR by 8 seconds and was 18 seconds better than second place.

The Driller school record is 5:10 and was run in 1978 by Jill Walker (She also ran a school record 10:48 in 1978 for the 3200) and baker looks to better that mark this season. Baker won the 3200 in a time of 11:26.34 which was 28 seconds better then second place as well.

Race Preview:
This event is for a good cause and it is not your cut n paste race on the bike path. I had to cover a meet out of town last year but ran the event in 2007. It was the first time I had seen Chris Schwartz (photo) at a local road race and he ran the 10k for the first time too. This was the year he won his first state cross country title. That day he easily won the 10k btw.

The race starts at the CALM parking lot and goes down a closed road towards Lake Ming. In 2007 the 5k was out back from Lake Ming and the 10k was the same except one did a couple loops behind the lake. The loop ran on the bike path and then down on the trial that ran parallel to the bike path. The long uphill near the finish line made for an interesting finish.

Hopefully, after the awards, you will be able to drive over to Hart Park and watch the varsity races of the Kern County Invite as well.
