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.
