new schools & their coaches
Independence, whose nickname is the Falcons, will open in the fall in southwest Bakersfield. Bill Parviainen for boys and girls cross country (West). Jason Henry (East) will be the school’s first throwing coach in track and field. The other track coaches have not yet been announced.
Mira Monte High School Track and Field: Wayne Brewer attended CSUB on a track scholarship and was a 3 time Division II National qualifier in the shot and discus. He has coached at North High and Foothill High.
Also Randy Jones of Centennial is retiring from coaching this year. His programs were always top notch and this past fall both his teams won valley in cross country. Plus I believe his 800 record (North High) survived the Anthony Mitchell onslaught this season. I know I and many others will miss this great coach.
