Fast Times at Roughrider

Robby Baker went sub sixteen and came in 4th overall in the large school division at the Roughrider Invite. His squad came in 4th overall and ran 83:14! Which make his Ridgeview squad the second Bakersfield team in as many weeks to break 85 minutes on the Woodward course.

Their time is over a minute and a half faster then Stockdale's time of 84:48. Their per man average was 16:39:

As was the case last year, the Wolf pack has still not found a fifth man which is crucial if they want to win a valley title and qualify for valley. Their 5 man spread was 2:40 where McFarland's was 37 seconds.

But for now, I must say breaking 84 minutes is great for local distance running because I have only recorded McFarland achieving this milestone in recent memory. At this meet Ridgeview beat McFarland 83:14 to 83:25 but if they ran in the same race, Mcfarland would win with their pack style finish:

BOYS LARGE SCHOOL VARSITY - A friend of Andy Noise won the race in 15:13, Justin Vilhauer came to town last spring to run the Lee Adams Open and has become friends with our local athletes. As a sophomore he ran 9:02 for the 3200 and this year he will be gunning for sub nine.

Behind Ridgeview in the team standings was Highland whose trio of Van Zandt (16:53), Colin Lewis (17:12) and Thomas Turner (17:14) also ran a good team time with their other scoring runners posting:

• Ivan Esiasquiv Highland 17:30
• Mike Jungo Highland 17:37

Their team time of 86:22 which is very close to their best time they posted at valley in 2007. Their 44 second spread is also very promising to their pursuit of a valley title this year.

Clovis Invite Shakes Up the Noise Rankings

The only invite that I found any local teams at this weekend was the Clovis Invite which shook up the boy's rankings. I used the combined results to come up with the rankings for the meet and McFarland 9photo) moved up into the lead with their effort. They won the small school's race.

Stockdale also ran well and moved up with their sub 85 minute performance (A first for a Bakersfield squad in recent memory.) They came in 5th in the large school's division.

Ridgeview Remains Top Kern County Squad

This week was a bad week for many Kern County harriers. There were upsets at duel meets and rather poor performances at invites.

Injuries and the flu hit hard and this weekend the SAT took it's toll on the invites too. Every year athletes have to miss big invites to take those dreaded college entrance exams.

Week Six Rankings: Seven Kern Teams in the Top 20

After a successful weekend for some at the Clovis Invite, most of the local squads did not move much in the rankings. Kern squads are ranked 3rd, 5th and 6th in the valley and all are expected to compete at the Kern Invite on Halloween.

Until then, most teams will be running a few invites and gearing up for their league finals in early November.
