Taft Wildcat Black Gold Rush 5kResults
Oct. 3, 2009
These race was held in conjunction with the Oildarado Days weekend out at Taft so it was only fitting that Taft athletes won the races. Long ago, in the 80s, I won this race and got a nice belt buckle.
The race director (Barry Jameson who (ran 24:48) is the Taft High cross country coach) said: "We are going to have a huge race for Oildarado next year. Maybe have a big purse at the end for the fastest, and have teams."
Perhaps he could get Taft's most famous runner Billy Nelson (2008 Olympic Steeplechaser) to run too!
