North distance runner Gragg headed to Fresno St.
BY ZACH EWING, Californian staff writer
zewing@bakersfield.com | Tuesday, Apr 22 2008 8:43 PM
Last Updated: Tuesday, Apr 22 2008 8:46 PM
With cameras clicking and people cheering Tuesday in North High’s cafeteria, distance runner Cody Gragg stole one glance away from the dotted line.
“It was hard to not focus on the camera and focus on the paper,” Gragg said. “Pretend it’s not there. The nerves were coming.”
What’s even harder, Gragg said, is becoming an accomplished distance runner in just three years. That’s what he’s done, going out for track his freshman year only because he was struggling in baseball, and then for cross country the next fall because he wasn’t already on the football team.
“I was going to play football my freshman year, but I pulled my groin, so I didn’t do anything,” Gragg said. “… I went out for track, gave it a shot, and it kind of skyrocketed from there.”
He’s become one of Bakersfield’s premier runners, taking 11th in the Central Section meet with a time of 16:00 and qualifying for the state meet. He also owns a top-10 time among section runners in the 3,200 meters and a top-20 time in the 1,600.
“Darrin Sundgren and Bill Lind, our distance coaches, have worked really hard with him,” said Allan Smart, North’s head track and field coach. “(Gragg) was the diamond in the rough.”
Gragg, who chose Fresno State over Long Beach State and some smaller schools, said the ride has made him thankful for that injured groin.
“I sure like the way things played out,” Gragg said.
He was also happy for all of Tuesday’s hullabaloo — if not entirely comfortable with it.
“It takes a lot of pressure off my shoulders,” Gragg said. “… It’s a little (uncomfortable), but I’m glad they all came out. I’d rather everybody be here than nobody be here.”

You might remember the story from a couple of years ago…
She did great at arcadia last week and now she moves to number 4 all time discus thrower in the nation!
Top flight: Jelmini No. 1 in Central Section, 4th in U.S.
The Bakersfield Californian | Saturday, Apr 19 2008 11:15 PM
Last Updated: Saturday, Apr 19 2008 11:16 PM
Another week, another personal record for Shafter’s Anna Jelmini.
Shafter High’s Anna Jelmini broke the Central Section record in the discus Saturday.
Now she can call herself the best discus thrower the Central Section has ever seen.
Jelmini threw a 183-11 in the discus at the Bill Kearney Invitational in Salinas on Saturday, breaking the old section mark of 178-0 by Bakersfield High’s Rachel Varner in 2002, by nearly six feet.
Perhaps more impressively, the mark equaled the fourth-best high school throw ever in the U.S.
“There were great conditions here, and she really performed well,” Shafter throwing coach Matt Godbehere said. “Three of her six throws were over 180 feet. … She actually threw 183-11 twice.”
Track statistician Ron Blackwood also said Jelmini’s mark was a state junior-class record and was tied for second in the state for all classes. Suzy Powell of Modesto-Downey threw 188-4 in 1994 and Leslie Deniz of Gridley also had a 183-11 in 1980. The previous junior-class record was 180-8 by Powell in 1993.
Jelmini, whose previous PR was 175-8, also won the shot put Saturday with a throw of 44-6.5.
Frontier’s Matt Darr won the boys discus with a PR of 180-5.5.

i ran the rio bravo 10 miler when i was in high school (early 80s) and it used to be an out and back course that started at the picnic grounds behind the kern river golf course.
it ran through the orange orchards and was mainly downhill out and uphill coming back. interestingly there was 4 or 5 cattle fences and they were all locked so one had to climb over them.
also there were a couple more creek crossing too. the creek crossing had planks across them but often everyone ran through them.
lastly, there were cows on the course and sometimes they wouldnt move or they ran along in front of you. with cows came their cow patties too.
in the old days, a lot of runners broke 60 on the course too. on the out and back course one had to climb over 8 fences and cross the creek 6 times.
