In Pursuit of Four

Jordan went out at in a 74 and then cruised the race for a comfortable win that was over twenty seconds faster than 2nd place. Her 10:30 was her slowest valley 3200 in the past three seasons. For many laps there was a pack of five running behind her.

She went through the 1600 in 5:11 with the pack about 12 seconds behind. The pack was lead by the Buchanan girls. By the end of the fifth lap the chase pack was down to four due to the pressure put on Janzen. At the end of lap six, Marvin had taken the lead with the two Buchanan girls trailing her and this group stayed together till the last lap where the Buchanan girls gapped Marvin by seven seconds and had to weave through lapped runners to the finish line.

The first Kern athlete was another CSUB athlete, Whittenberg of Shafter. She was follwed by Barton of Liberty who beat both the Guzman and Lynch for the first time I believe.

At Least Five Just to Survive

I figured it would take sub five to win but it almost took sub five to make state. The lead pack went through the first lap in 72 with Bullard's runner leading. A pack of six went by the 800 in 2:29. The 3rd lap the group stayed together but slowed. Then Saylah took the lead with Macy, Chloe and Chelsea chasing with three hundred to go. Down the homestretch, Bricks over took Barsarian for the win. The top Kern athlete was CSUB bound Lopez of North.

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.

Sub Five To Win?

The top five girls in this event are all well known to fans of distance running in the valley. They have all been stars in cross country and track since they were freshman and the 1600 should be a fast one.
