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!
