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.

Girls 200 Meter Dash SEYL

Girls 200 Meter Dash SEYL - PHOTOS. Wandick's time makes her number two in the valley and she should return to state in
this event. Wilcox ran a season best and moves to number 5 in the valley but numerous leg injuries may keep her out of future meets.

Third Time is the Charm

Usually by the 200, Purvis (12) already has two wins under his belt (400 relay and the 400) but that was not the case at this meet. So he ran a season best for the win in the 200. Hunt (10) and Purvis are ranked in the top three in the valley.

200--1. Purvis, Ridge, 22.11; 2. Hunt, Bak, 22.18; 3. Thieleke, West, 22.32; 3. Turkington, Cent, 22.40

Deja Two Hundred That Is

The 200 finish was very much like the 100 except Brown and Belt switched places. Wandick (sr) and Brown (sr) are both ranked in the top ten in the valley. Last year, Wandick ran the 200 at state. Interestingly, Watson got second overall despite being seeded in the slow heat.

200--1. Wandick, Bak, 25.39; 2. Watson, Stock, 25.99; 3. Brown, Bak, 26.04; 4. Belt, Bak, 26.09

Exact Time, Different Future

Hunt of Bakersfield and Jenning of Stockdale ran the exact same time but only one is moving on. Of course, Hunt will be busy with the 400 relay, 200 and 4 x 400. Both Sumlin and Alade are ranked in the top ten in the valley.

100--1. Alade, Stock, 10.93; 2. Sumlin, Gar, 11.06; 3. Turkington, Cent, 11.08; 4. Jenning, Stock, 11.11

Almost Wilcox 57

Erica Wilcox (jr) has owned the 400 locally and has been mainly racing the clock but next week at valley she will have her work cut out for her to make the top three and move on to the state meet.

400--1. Wilcox, Lib, 58.07; 2. Chudy, Cent, 1:00.78; 3.White, Bak, 1:00.82; 4. Torres, Bak, 1:01.50.

There at least three girls under 58 in the valley and I am sure Wilcox will be joining them shortly.

Bakersfield came in 3rd and 4th but may not run the open 400 at valley and focus on making it to state in the 4 x 400 relay. Interestingly, the Driller's fastest 400 runner has never run an open 400 but is no stranger to Wilcox. Brushay Wandick (sr) owns the 200 but a heads up in the open 400 would be interesting.

At most meets, Wilcox and Wandick run the same leg of the 4 x 400, with Wilcox usually chasing Wandick. With Brushay off to CSUB in the fall, this much hoped for match up in the open 400 may never happen but I have heard that Wilcox is interested in competing for CSUB in the future. So maybe that match up will happen after all.
