Cross Country Division Seedings for 2010

The Central Section CIF Meeting was held Wednesday.

The Board of Managers passed the divisions proposal. Your placement is based on performance, not enrollment.
If you do not know which division your in see the list below for boys and girls (their separate division placements)
If you disagree with the placement of your school, but need to do the following:
A written letter (less than one page) describing why your school should not be placed in the assigned division.
The letter must be submitted to the CIF office by or before February 15th.
The letter must be signed by the Athletic Director or Principal of the school. A letter signed by the coach will not be accepted.



We presented at the first reading two proposals to be voted on in April.
You have until that CIF meeting to let known your opinions on these proposals.
Understand that the Cross Country Committee does not have the final decision, but the Central Sections High School Administrators.
When I attend the meeting in April, most Administrators from the different leagues have already decided which way they will vote. You will need to
make yourself know to your school's administration to set policy.

Proposal #2
Schools whose enrollment are 500 or less shall be placed in Division V

Proposal #3
Schools whose enrollment are 1250 or less shall be placed in Division IV unless the schools qualify for Division V.

Note: Proposal #1 was just a statement read to the Committee.

State D1 cross country qualifier Sarah Baker (Jr) of Bakersfield High broke the meet record in the 3200 with a time of 11:34.8 which is a personal best for her. The Centennial girls broke the meet record in the 4 x800 as well. Centennial also won the Sweepstakes trophy. Stockdale's Carolin Haney won the 1600 in a time of 5:32.

Meet Preview:

• This meet is always the kickoff meet to a new track & field season in Bakersfield. Long ago this meet was one of the meets of the year but now it is a shadow of its former self. I ran it back in the early 80s and remember all kinds of relays and medleys that are no longer contested.
  
• Back in the day, this was truly a relay meet. In fact, even the field events were a 3 man competition. They averaged the best three marks to determine which school won. But it, the medleys and hurdle relays are no more
  
• The distance races (1600 and 3200) were team events too. The 1600 record was a 4:17 average by three athletes from Arroyo Grande in 1994. The 3200 record was a 9:38 average by three athletes from Shafter in 1977.
  
• The relays that are contested now are the 4 x 100, 4 x 200, 4 x 400 and 4 x 800. The individual running events are the 1600, 3200 and the hurdles. All the field events are contested as well. There are three divisions: varsity boys, varsity girls and frosh/soph boys.
  
• At this event, there are limited spots available to compete especially in the running events. There is not any 100, 200, 400 or 800. In the past, they have not limited the number of field athletes, so one should consider trying one of the field events if you want to compete at this meet.

********** MALE OVERALL RESULTS ***********

1 BLAKE HANEY 13 BAKERSFIELD 17:17, ran an excellent time especially since he is not even in high school yet. Next fall, the rich will get richer when Blake enrolls at Stockdale. They almost qualified as a team to go to state in division one (I have not found a D1 team from Bakersfield that has done this) and most of the team returns.

********** FEMALE OVERALL RESULTS ***********

1 PAM BOYLES 44 BAKERSFIELD 20:24, I believe Pam is undefeated at this race over the years. Of course that could be said at any local race for the most part.

DIVISION RESULTS FOR 10K RACE - Because the runners were sent the wrong way, the 10k ended up being a 5.9 mile race (5.9 miles was the average that I got from several runners with GPS watches). To get a 10k time, one needs to multiple the following times by 1.05.

So the winning men's time was 32:20 which would convert to a 34 flat 10k. The winning women's time was 40:20 which would convert to a 10k time of 42:20. These converted times are pretty fast for a very difficult course with lots of turns and terrain changes so they be off.

I am writing in regards to an event that is being organized due to a tragic car accident that occurred in the early morning hours of Nov. 30^th. The Bakersfield Californian reported the accident that occurred on Highway 46 on Tuesday December 1^st as a single car accident that left the driver, Asencion Mendoza, in critical condition and passenger, Sergio Mendez, dead from injuries suffered in the crash. Here is the link to the article: http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/BreakingNewsTeam/52402

The two men involved were former students at Wasco High School and this crash has left many in the Lost Hills and Wasco communities very upset. Mendoza suffered spinal injuries, and was transported from Kern Medical Center to a special rehabilitation center in Downey, CA has still not regained full movement in his arms and legs. Mendoza was a decorated athlete and two-time All-Area Cross Country nominee. He was a four time South Sequoia League Champion, two-time Central Section Champion, and four-time State Meet Qualifier. He is a big part of our running family here in Wasco.

We have organized an event on Saturday January 23^rd in honor of Sergio Mendez and Asencion Mendoza and have named it the “Torch Tribute and Relief Relay”. We are planning on having approximately 50 students and graduates from Wasco High and Lost Hills Elementary participate in a torch relay run between Lost Hills School and Wasco High School . Each runner has pledged to seek sponsorship for their leg of the relay in order to raise money for the families that have been affected by this accident. The route that we will be running is especially meaningful since the crash occurred along the stretch of highway between Lost Hills and Wasco. It is also meaningful because Sergio’s burial plot is located along Highway 46 as well. We hope that this torch relay will create some community interest and we are hoping that you would be willing to help get the word out so that charitable donations may come in. If anyone is willing to make a donation, the payment and mailing information is below. We will also have T-shirts for sale at Lost Hills School and Wasco High School on Saturday, Jan. 23^rd. Please let me know if there is the possibility for some exposure. Please feel free to contact me or Lost Hills School principal Veronica Gregory if you have questions.

The event will start at 9:00 on Saturday Jan. 23rd at the Lost Hills School campus. The route will be along HWY 46 between Lost Hills and Wasco. The runners will be escorted by Sheriff and school vans for safety and the torch will stop and light candles in the location of the accident and at Sergio Mendez's gravesite. The entire relay will be about 40 miles long and should take most of the day.

Thank You,
