A Mustang Moves On

Stockdale's Alada took second in the 100, where the favorite Bigelow pulled up at the finish and appeared to injured. Trying to do the 100/200/400 triple might have been a bit too much especially since the 100 is right after the 400s on the schedule.

Because of the suspected groin injury Bigelow won't be competing in the 200 at state, where as a freshman he came in second in 2008. Interestingly, Bigelow pulled up short with an injury on the very same track in the first meet of the year, the Clovis Sprint Classic.

Four for Four Again

Bakersfield's Wandick finished the night by helping her squad (Felisa Torres, Shinead McDonald and Keiarra White) make the state in her fourth event of the evening. Their time was a season best and it needed too be because the race behind Edison's super quick 3:50 was a a close one.

Down Goes The Favorite

At area, the favorite in the boys 110 hurdles clipped a middle hurdle and did not advance to valley. At valley, Jackson (Frontier Jr) clipped a middle hurdle it completely threw her off and taking 9th after being the valley leader all season long. Bakersfield's McDonald was the top Kern finisher in 5th place and was followed by Frontier freshman Ellis.

In Pursuit of Four

Jordan went out at in a 74 and then cruised the race for a comfortable win that was over twenty seconds faster than 2nd place. Her 10:30 was her slowest valley 3200 in the past three seasons. For many laps there was a pack of five running behind her.

She went through the 1600 in 5:11 with the pack about 12 seconds behind. The pack was lead by the Buchanan girls. By the end of the fifth lap the chase pack was down to four due to the pressure put on Janzen. At the end of lap six, Marvin had taken the lead with the two Buchanan girls trailing her and this group stayed together till the last lap where the Buchanan girls gapped Marvin by seven seconds and had to weave through lapped runners to the finish line.

The first Kern athlete was another CSUB athlete, Whittenberg of Shafter. She was follwed by Barton of Liberty who beat both the Guzman and Lynch for the first time I believe.

At Least Five Just to Survive

I figured it would take sub five to win but it almost took sub five to make state. The lead pack went through the first lap in 72 with Bullard's runner leading. A pack of six went by the 800 in 2:29. The 3rd lap the group stayed together but slowed. Then Saylah took the lead with Macy, Chloe and Chelsea chasing with three hundred to go. Down the homestretch, Bricks over took Barsarian for the win. The top Kern athlete was CSUB bound Lopez of North.

Heat Cruelty

The 800 is the the perfect mix of speed and endurance. How it is run is often not so perfect. Most of the year, it has a waterfall start with numerous competitors but then the championships come and the field is stagger at the start.

For some meets they double up the lanes but in most it is a field of nine who stay in lanes till the beginning of the backstretch. This is how valley and state are run and where things do not go so smoothly.

At valley, they seed the heats by time at the area meets. Which is not very fair. If an athlete is in a slow area, she may have to run against the clock and hope she gets a top nine time or she is doomed to the slow heat. So she is once again going to have to race against the clock and hope to beat the third place finisher in the fast heat. This is almost an insurmountable task.

To be fair, the top girl from each area (there are four) should get a spot in the fast heat and the other 5 lanes should go to the next the next five fastest. But I doubt it will ever changed, so ladies remember to run like the wind and not the win at area.

One who does both is the valley champ Jordan Hasay. At beginning of the backstetch, where they break in for the curb, Jordan was gone and ran an excellent time. In fact, the top three times were real quick.

If Jordan drops the 800 for state, the heat issue does come into play because Bakersfield' Sarah Baker won the slow heat rather easily and ended up 6th overall. She is known as a fierce competitor and if given the chance to be in the fast heat she might of taken fourth and moved on if Jordon dropped the event for state.

Bang and Nobody is Out

For most of the sprinting events, I hangout on at the top of the homestretch to get what I think is a good shot so I do not see the starts. But even from far away, I could tell someone false started but no one got DQed. Later, I heard quite a bit of grumbling about this matter.

Interestingly, at the West Coast Relays this year, the top seed in the girls 400 did false start. But later in the 1600 relay she ran one of the most amazing relay legs that I have seen and beat Edison to boot.

Erica Wilcox (Liberty Jr) was the top Kern finisher with a PR too.

The Third Deuce

Wandick has had a great high school career but has often been in the shadow of great high school athletes. In the past, she has had to contend with Dominique Lauderdale (Ridgeview 07 & Washington 11) and Romesha Anderson (Stockdale 07 & southern Miss 11) and this year it is super sophomore Prandini who scored 40 points for her team and lead the to a valley title. The Drillers had three in the top ten and Belt is just a 10th grader.

She Will Have Company

Last year, Brushay Wandick went alone to state with the Driller boys and competed in the 200. This year the CSUB bound senior will have some company because she helped both of her relays squads make the state meet. She will be in four events: the 100, 200, 400 relay and 1600 relay. Of course she has been doing all four all year but at state there are prelims in all of them on Friday and then the finals are on Saturday.

Who Made State? (Girls)

To make state one must come in the top three at valley or meet a very tough At-Large standard. The following girls made state:

Brushay Wandick (Bakersfield 12) made state in the 100, 200 and both relays. Frontier's Taylor Jackson (11) was the only other female track athlete to make state. Though the favorite in both hurdles, she only made it in the 300. In the field events Kern County had more success: Amanda Klinchuch (Liberty 12) made it the pole vault, Shanesha Epps (Golden Valley) in the long jump. Anna Jelmini (Shafter) and Alex Collatz (Stockdale) made it in throws and Lacie Rasley (Shafter) made it in the shot as well.

Returning Finalists?

The leading potential returnee to the state meet has to be Shafter's Ana Jelmini who is the defending state champ in the shot and the discus. this Arizona State bound senior recently broke the national record in the discus and moved to number two all-time in the shot.

Alex Collatz (Stockdale 10) came in fourth in the discus and this year hope to make it in both throws and the triple jump.

Johnny Carter (Ridgeview 10) came on strong in the final meets of the season and won the triple jump last year as a freshman! Since then he has grown a lot physically (I did not recognize him from last year when the season started) and has been battling injuries. But he made it to valley and one should never count him out.

On the track, Kern County only has one potential finalist returning. Chris Schwartz (Foothill 12) had a front row seat to one of the most impressive doubles in high school distance running when German Fernandez broke the national record in the 3200 and ran 4:00.29 in the 1600 earlier in the meet. The CalPoly SLO bound Schwartz came in second and ran a PR of 8:58 in the 3200.

In the horizontal jumps, Washington State bound Alana Alexander (Centennial 12) surprised many by making the finals in both jumps.

Field of Dreams

Kern County has plenty of chances at placing high and making it to state in many field events.

Ana Jelmini (Shafter) broke the national record in the discus and is second all-time in the shot. Her teammate, Lacie Rasley will be vying for a state berth in both throws too.

Lastly, Alex Collatz (Stockdale) will be more than likely get the other spots to state in the throws. She also has a good shot to make it in the triple jump too. If she had not recently hurt her ankle and the rules allowed it, she could of qualified for valley in the long jump and high jump too! Plus she is only a sophomore.

Alana Alexander (Centennial) has signed with Washington State and hopes to return to state in both horizontal jumps and Shanesha Epps looks to qualify in the long jump. Lastly, Amanda Klinchuch is the ranked second in the valley in the pole vault.

One the boys side, Matt Darr (Frontier) looks to follow in Foothill's Dayshan Ragans and win both events and then try to win both at state too. Highland's Austin Jordan is looking good in both throws too.

In the long jump, Liberty's Affentranger is the top ranked long jumper in the valley and Ridgeview's Johnny Carter is the defending state champ in the triple jump. In the high jump, Garce's Phillip McCullom has gone 6'8 this season and George Robbins of west is at 6'6 and both have excellent chances of making it to state.

Making It Right

Ridgeview has one of the best times going into this meet, when at league they ran an uncontested 3:19. But the last time they were at Buchanan, they were DQed by their own coach for taunting/showboating at the end of the race and first place went to Buchanan.

This time around they are running for more than a sweatshirt.

The Last Chance

On the track, Bakersfield's female athletes are going to have to run races of their lives to make state in most events minus Taylor Jackson in the hurdles. The same will be true in the 4 x 400.
Event 19 Women 4x400 Meter Relay.

Edison is three seconds faster than the next three teams. The next three teams are all around four flat and Bakersfield and Liberty are two of those teams.

Qualify or Let One Fly

The past two valley championships Hasay has run in the 10:20 range and qualified easily for the state meet. This year she is scheduled to run the 800 earlier in the meet, which is something she has not done before.

The race for the top three state berths should be fierce. The At-Large standard is a quick 10:47. Hopefully, the Bakersfield girls
will improve on their Area times.

Round Two and the Pursuit of Round Three

How many times have Marty and Isiah run against each other? For three years they were teammates at Liberty and probably ran the open 400 aginst each other at every meet. They have made state in the 4 x 400 for several years and now they are looking to make state in the open 400.

The action in the stands will be almost as intense as the action on the oval I bet!
