Lynch & Baker Lead Ridgeview to Team Titles at Wasco

Tijerra Lynch and Robby Baker lead their Ridgeview team mates to the team titles. It was a hot (95 ) muggy afternoon and the course was challenging with a number hills and lots of turns on the one mile loop course. The JV and Frosh/Soph ran two loops and the Varsity ran three loops.

Varsity Boys - The Ridgeview boys won with 20 points (15 points is as low as one can score). Right from the start, they took the lead with a nice pack of purple and gold. After the first hill only a Wasco runner or two was able to stay with the wolf pack. After the first lap, the lead pack included five Ridgeview and three Wasco athletes and they went through the first mile in under 5:10.

After the second lap, Baker and Solis took control of the race and Baker took the win in 15:30. He was followed by his team mates: Solis 15:39 (2nd), Garcia 15:43 (3rd), Lewis 16:21 (6th) and Madrigal 16:54 (8th).Wasco came in second overall with 40 points and was lead by Patino 15:50 (4th) and Mendoza 16:07 (5th).Tehachapi's top runner was Horowitz who ran 17:12 for 10th place and he was followed by Arvin's top runner Gonzalez who ran 18:29. Bakersfield Christian's top runner was Beard who ran 20:22 for 24th place. The teams finished in this order as well behind Ridgeview and Wasco.

Varsity Girls - The Ridgeview girls got two points to a perfect score of fifteen and their race was similar to the boys race. They started in a nice pack that quickly took the lead. After the first lap, Lynch, Huziar and Armendariz lead the race. They were followed by Tehachapi's Whitson and their three team mates.

Much like the boys race, Lynch took the lead on the third lap and took the win in a time of 19:22. She was followed by Huizar in 19:43 and Armendariz in 20:09. Whitson of Tehachapi lead her team to second with her fourth place finish in 21:36. She was followed by Ridgeview's Morgan (22:01), Tehachapi's Evans (22:12) and
Ridgeview's Voss (22:25), Tarr (22:26) and Johnson who ran 22:38 for 10th place.

In 9th place was Bakersfield Christian's Powell who ran 22:37 and Wasco's top runner was Valencia in a time 22:59 for 11th place. Wasco came in third and BCHS came in fourth in the team race.
