on the way to sub 10:30Originally uploaded by andynoise
almost midnight and in 8 hours i get to go back to buchanan for the clovis sprint carnival. the distance carnival was a blast today and the rain made it memorable.
buchanan’s new mondo track is SWEET and so was the meet.
we left bhs a little after 11am and got back after 8pm. in between, we ate andrew’s birthday snacks, got real wet and ran some good times.
our friends from highland, golden valley, mcfarland, north and centennial were there too. hope i didnt forget anyone else.
i have posted videos HERE and photos HERE. they arent the best but my little cameras did the best they could. i need to get back into track mode and figure out how to shoot with two cameras and keep track of splits and stuff. basically i need more hands.
HERE is a link to driller results
complete results HERE
plus remember you can leave comments on this blog. tell us about your BDC experience. also leave comments on the photos. tell us who you are.
lastly, please support my site sponsors!
thought i would add some to this blog. it is 4am sunday morning and i am wideawake because of my neighbors barking dog.
i got the final results linked and they are surprising almost complete. those buchanan girls did a good job trying to keep everything dry and not blown away.
the only results that got destroyed were the 3200 results. if you check out my photos you can get some of the times for the top boy runners however. i took photos with the big old clock and the athlete finishing. click HERE for photos. comment on those suckers too. tell me who, what, where and why.
the first race of the day was the frosh/soph 3200 which is always a fast one. this year was no exception. here are local boys results:

bakersfield also turned in the top time in the 800. anthony mitchell of north was the only 800 runner to go sub two. he looked really strong, as he did at the lee adams open a couple weeks ago.
in the girl’s 1600, north highs candace carlson had the second fastest time of the day. she also came in 3rd in the 3200 but the times for the girl’s and boy’s 3200 were destroyed by the weather.
in the boy’s 3200, if you look at my photos and watch my videos, you can get times for some of our kern athletes.
