top marks '09 - BHS's Baker was the fastest Bakersfield girl last year and looks to improve her times in all the distance events. But the 800 is pretty deep up North and making it to state in this event is very difficult with the heats and such.

'09 top marks - Baker is the fastest in this event as well but once again the Clovis schools dominate this event. The Driller school record (5:10ish) could be in peril this year if she gets in the right race.

top marks '09 - Guzman of Garces had the best time last year in the one distance event where a Bakersfield girl has a good shot at making it to state in. Baker or Lynch (Ridgeview) along with others could get a top three finish at valley in this event if they concentrated on the event.

top marks '09 - Last year Centennial won the 1600 relay valley crown and Moore was a big reason why. Valley 800 champ Jerrid Lewis is in the top ten as well but the 400/800 double is very difficult to pull off because the events are so close to each other on the schedule. In 2007, Ashlee Thomas of Centennial did pull it off.

Stockdale's Kelly will be in the hunt and the 3200 should look like the SWYL cross country meet with several Stockdale and Ridgeview runners looking to take over Schwartz's crown.

Competitors in the FIELD EVENTS will NOT be allowed any attempts, after the last competitor in the last flight has completed his/her throws/jumps. NO EXCEPTIONS!

Extremely large numbers in the field events could result in instituting a “qualifying” line, in which competitors would have to throw/jump past this mark to be measured. Meet management will view the entries, before making the final decision.

JAVELIN: We will have two (2) Javelin throwing areas. WOMEN will throw on the south field; MEN will throw within the track infield. The Javelin runways are grass.

FALSE START RULE: A false start will and must eliminate that individual and his/her relay team from the race.

AWARDS: Quality T-shirts will be awarded to the first-place team in each relay section. In the field events, first place will receive a T-shirt. You may claim your T-shirt thirty (30) minutes AFTER the event has been announced.

SHOWER FACILITIES: Will be available, but each SCHOOL/INDIVIDUAL must provide its/his/her OWN TOWELS and SECURITY for its/his/her VALUABLES.

PARKING: Buses can park in the parking lot NORTH of the track. NO PARKING DIRECTLY IN FRONT of the track (west side).

The time schedule is based on entries received and we will try to keep on schedule, as much as possible. YOUR COOPERATION AND UNDERSTANDING WILL BE APPRECIATED.

NOTE: All SCRATCHES will be made to the Clerk of the Course or at the field event. ADDITIONS will be added, only if space is available.

All-Area Cross Country: 1984 to 2009

2009 All-Area selections by Zack Ewing:

BOYS CROSS COUNTRY -- Alex Garcia and Robby Baker, Ridgeview

I don't like going with co-Players (Runners) of the Year, because I think sometimes it's a crutch when you don't want to make a decision. But I will do it every now and then, and this is one case where the shoe fits. Garcia and Baker ran together in nearly every race of the year, finishing more than 30 seconds apart just twice. Baker had the better regular season, winning 10 events and beating Garcia along the way. But Garcia was at his best in the clutch -- winning at the SWYL meet and finishing ahead at the section and state meets as the Wolf Pack boys reached state for the first time in school history. Garcia was also ahead at the Kern County Championships until some spectators got in the way and forced the pair to change course late. Baker wound up winning with Garcia a second behind. How fitting. How can you separate them? McFarland freshman Erik Garcia also deserves some mention here; he won the Division IV section championship and led the Cougars to second in state in just his first year. Good things are ahead in 2010.

Ridgeview's Baker, Garcia share Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year honor

Even in a sport as individual as cross country, it pays to have good teammates. Just ask Robbie Baker and Alex Garcia. The two Ridgeview standouts were rarely challenged by the rest of the competition this past season. But the duo, which finished more than 20 seconds apart just once all year, didn’t let that deter them from pushing each other to get better every week.

First Team 2009

• Robby Baker
• Alex Garcia
• Erik Garcia
• Jesus Villalpondo
• Francisco Nava
• Cameron Miller

Wolf Pack's Setser named Boys Cross Country Coach of the Year

Ridgeview cross country coach Adam Setser knew this season would be a culmination of five years’ worth of program-building. When he came to Ridgeview, the team consisted of a couple of guys Setser described as “thugs” and not much else.
“There were struggles at the beginning trying to get this team to be a team,” Setser said. “It was tough, and we went through it for a couple of years.”

GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY -- Tijerra Lynch, Ridgeview

Another testament to the program Adam Setser has built at Ridgeview is Lynch, who's now a two-time Runner of the Year after coming over from the track team, where she was an 800 specialist. Lynch beats out Sarah Baker of Bakersfield for this award, mainly because though their times were very similar (Baker's were even better at some points) the only time they raced against each other was at the Kern County meet. Lynch kicked at the end to beat Baker by five seconds. The good news for us is that both are juniors, and we can watch them battle again next year. Highland's Jeanette Rodriguez and Taft's Megan Thompson won section championships, but it was Lynch (third in D-III) and Baker (10th in D-I) who really led the local pack all year.

Ridgeview's Tijerra Lynch honored as All-Area Girls Runner of the Year

Tijerra Lynch caught people by surprise in her first year of cross country last season. In most cases this year, she just couldn't be caught.
The Ridgeview junior continued her transition from an 800-meter specialist to one of the top girls cross country runners in the area with another series of dominant performances.

First Team 2009

• Tijerra Lynch
• Desiree Armendariz
• Megan Thompson
• Riddhi Patel
• Moriah Millwee
• Sarah Baker

Stockdale's Tape selected All-Area Girls Cross Country Coach of the Year

Stockdale girls cross country coach Bree Tape thought 2009 would be the dreaded rebuilding year, a stepping stone for successes down the road.
Then she saw her freshmen, and thought success this year was a heck of a lot closer.
She led the Mustangs to it, winning an SWYL title and the Kern County Championships. Tape is The Californian’s Girls Cross Country Coach of the Year.

boys runner of the year 1984-2006

Coach of the Year: Amador Ayon, McFarland

Ayon guided McFarland to its 17th straight Central Section title (20th overall) and a third-place Division IV finish at the state meet.

Ayon said the key to McFarland’s success was a hard-working group of runners.

“The highlight of the season was the whole season. Every single day was enjoyable to me,” Ayon said. “These kids were there every day. My assistant coaches were incredible.”

McFarland placed five runners in the top 10 at the Central Section Div. IV meet. Earlier in the season, McFarland cruised to the title at the Kern County Championships against county schools of all sizes by placing six runners in the top 9.

McFarland had only one senior on this year’s team, No. 1 runner Jesus Gomez, and a solid crop of prospects are in the local junior high. “The cupboard is not bare by any stretch of the imagination,” Ayon said.

Schwartz stepped up on big stage

Chris Schwartz was the first Kern County runner to win a Division I state cross country championship in the 21-year history of the state meet, and that wasn’t even Schwartz’s biggest highlight of the season.

Foothill High’s Chris Schwartz, right, outsprints, Trabucco Hills’ Riley Sullivan near the finish line in Fresno, during the state championship cross country match. Schwartz took first and Sullivan came in second.
“Going to the nationals was my highlight,” said Schwartz, a junior at Foothill High School who is The Californian’s All-Area Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year.

“And I had my worst day ever at the nationals,” Schwartz added, referring to his 37th-place finish at San Diego’s Balboa Park in early December at the Foot Locker Cross Country Championships.

But Schwartz, 17, already had an outstanding season prior to that meet.

He was the dominant Kern County runner all season, including easy wins at the Kern County Championships and the Southeast Yosemite League meet.

Schwartz captured the Division I Central Section championship at Woodward Park, clocking 15 minutes, 31 seconds over the 5-kilometer course.

The state meet followed two weeks later.

With all eyes focused on co-favorites Riley Sullivan from Mission Viejo-Trabuco Hills and Brett Walters from Hesperia-Sultana, Schwartz used a late-race kick to pull ahead and win the race in 15:13, one second faster than Sullivan and eight seconds faster than third-place finisher Walters.

“I was planning to finish in the top-5, and I won,” Schwartz said.

The state meet marked the 12th straight race Schwartz had won, dating to a Sept. 26 triangular meet at Foothill.

Schwartz credited maturity and advice from Foothill track assistant coach Paul Contreras as the catalysts for his special cross country season.

“My track coach from last year (Contreras) helped me with pacing,” Schwartz said. “I couldn’t have done it without pacing.”

Schwartz, a state track meet qualifier last spring in the 3,200 meters, said he’s a stronger cross country runner.

“The further the distances, I’m much better,” he said. “I can’t outrun people. I’m more of a long-distance runner.”

Schwartz calls the late Steve Prefontaine, one of America’s greatest distance runners, as an idol who keeps him motivated, even though Prefontaine died in a 1975 automobile accident, many years before Schwartz was born.

“I know he died before I was born, but I want to catch his time,” Schwartz said.

Schwartz placed seventh at the West Regionals following the state meet, which qualified him for the Foot Locker national championships in San Diego. He was one of 40 of the top runners in the nation invited to the meet.

At the regionals, he out-kicked Sullivan again, “just like the state meet,” Schwartz said, and was the second-fastest runner from California.

He said he was one of only seven juniors at the Foot Locker meet.

“I was kind of surprised to make it,” Schwartz said. “I was the only junior making it from the Western Region.”

Schwartz is already planning to run in the Foot Locker meet next season.

“Next year I won’t be as nervous and I’ll know the course more. And most of the kids who will be coming will be running it the first time, or I ran against them this year.”

Coach of the Year: Randy Jones, Centennial

A blend of newcomers with veterans helped Centennial win its fifth Central Section girls cross country team title in the 10-year career of coach Randy Jones.

Jones earned The Californian’s All-Area girls cross country coach of the year honor for the third time in four seasons.

“Our boys (team) got one (a Section title) this year, too. It’s been a good run,” said Jones, who resigned as Centennial’s cross country coach but will continue to coach track and field.

Centennial won the Division II girls section title by placing five runners in the top 10. The Golden Hawks scored 33 points to easily outdistance Visalia-Golden West’s 63.

“That was our goal all season,” Jones said of the section meet. “We wanted to win that valley meet. I set up our training for that meet. We tried to peak there and we did.”

Carlson put together a dominant run
BY JEFF EVANS, Californian staff writer
e-mail: jevans@bakersfield.com | Thursday, Dec 27 2007 8:30 PM
Last Updated: Thursday, Dec 27 2007 8:35 PM

Candace Carlson proved to be unbeatable against Kern County opposition this season.

Carlson, a junior at North High School, was the dominant girls runner in the county and has been selected as The Californian’s All-Area Girls Cross Country Runner of the Year.

“I’m excited. That’s awesome,” Carlson said after learning she’s been named the top runner.

She is the second North runner to win the honor in three seasons. Amanda Montgomery won in 2005 when Carlson was a freshman.

“It’s cool following in her footsteps,” Carlson said.

Carlson said her best race of the season came at the Oct. 27 Kern County Championships, where she blistered the 3-mile Hart Park course in 18 minutes, 9 seconds.

“That was my best time at Hart Park,” she said. “I felt so good that race.”

Carlson took the lead by the midway point of the race and steadily pulled away. She sped up and crossed the finish line in a sprint.

“I didn’t have any competition (that day), but even when you don’t have anyone to run with, you have to run for yourself,” she said.

Carlson won the Southwest Yosemite League individual title with a time of 18:52 at Hart Park, then placed fourth at the Central Section Division I race at Woodward Park in Fresno with a time of 19:04.

At the state meet two weeks later, her time was 19:28 — still faster than any other Kern County runner at the state meet but a disappointment to Carlson. She had a 19:14 on the same course at the state meet her sophomore year.

“I thought I would do a lot better the last two races this season, but I can’t be disappointed,” Carlson said.

She acknowledged it was difficult running among a pack of runners after often being alone ahead of everyone during Kern County races.

“You’re used to winning to having so many girls around you,” Carlson said. “It’s going to get into your head and break down your spirit a little bit.

“But that happens to everyone. I think I’m getting adjusted to it.”

One hurdle Carlson said she’ll need to overcome is the mental aspect of running at Woodward Park.

“That course is really hard for me, whenever I run there,” she said. “It seems like every time I’m there, I’m facing intense competition, which doesn’t help.”

Carlson said her goal is continued improvement next year, which she hopes will lead to a college athletic scholarship.

“My coaches all tell me I have a lot of potential,” she said. “I’m excited to see what I can do.”

Time-wise, she said she’d like to chop about 30 seconds off her time at Woodward Park while running below 18 minutes at Hart Park.

“I’m pretty excited for my senior year,” Carlson said. “If I can drop into the 17s, it gives me a lot of improvement from this year.

“That was my goal coming into this year, but I didn’t get my times down that low.”

She has taken a break from running in December but said she’ll be back running in January in preparation of track.

“I’ll start by running 5 miles a day, until I need to do some speed workouts,” Carlson said. “Track is different from cross country, of course. It’s hard to say what I prefer. It’s boring running eight laps around the track (for the 3,200 meters). The 1,600 goes so fast.”
