Foothill’s Schwartz, North’s Lopez run to East Invitational titles
The Bakersfield Californian | Wednesday, Sep 10 2008 10:07 PM
Last Updated: Wednesday, Sep 10 2008 10:06 PM
Believe it or not, Foothill cross country state champion Chris Schwartz said he felt some butterflies Wednesday before the start of the East Bakersfield Invitational.
Our readers recommend:
North High’s Cecilia Lopez won the girls varsity race at the East Bakersfield cross country meet, held Wednesday afternoon at Lake Ming.
“The beginning of the race, I was a little nervous,” Schwartz said.
At the end, he left no doubt who the guy to beat is again this year. Schwartz ran the 3-mile course (slightly shorter than a normal 5-kilometer course) in 15:29, shaving more than a minute off of what he ran in winning this season-opening meet last year.
At this point, he’s competing mostly against the clock. The other runners are just there to push him to better times. “I’m going out there with the mindset of getting (less than 15 minutes) every race,” Schwartz said. “If I can’t, I’ll just try to lower my time every race.”
Schwartz began to pull away at the 2-mile mark, then widened the gap during a downhill stretch just before the finish. He was sprinting by the time he crossed the finish.
“We hammered speed with Chris all during track season, just hammered it,” said Foothill coach Aaron Rietz, who also coached Schwartz to a second-place finish in the state’s 3,200-meter race in track. “He’s gotten so much better.”
That’s a scary thought for the rest of the area, even if it looks like there are more quality runners than usual. Though shaving one-tenth of a mile off the course and better weather helped, times were significantly better this year than last. Schwartz’s 16:40 finish of 2007 would have barely gotten him in the top 10 this year.
At the top of the list was Ridgeview, which had the next three finishers after Schwartz: Brian Solia in 15:33, Robby Baker in 15:53.5 and Alex Garcia in 16:13. The Wolf Pack’s 35 points easily bested second-place Bakersfield High, which had 70.
“We’ve got a young group of guys that have worked really hard over the summer,” Ridgeview coach Adam Setser said. “I wouldn’t say it came out of nowhere, because I knew they were capable of doing really well. On the girls side, same thing.”
The Ridgeview girls also won the team title, scoring 73 points to Stockdale’s 89.
North’s Cecilia Lopez ran a 19:30 to take the individual title, bringing her into the spotlight on a team that had been led by Candace Carlson for the past year. Carlson was The Californian’s Runner of the Year last season but dropped out midway through this race. North coach Brian Huens declined to comment on why Carlson dropped out, but did say she wasn’t injured.
That left Lopez, who pulled away in the last mile to win a surprising crown.
“I came in expecting to work as a teammate, to get some team points,” Lopez said. “I didn’t expect to win. I finished the race and I thought to myself, ‘I could have gone faster.’ I need someone pushing me.”
Foothill’s Natalie Fernandez was second in 19:36, Liberty’s Ashley Barton third in 19:42 and Ridgeview’s Jessica Huizer fourth in 19:49.

Going to great lengths
Ragans dominates Foothill Invitational with season-best 63-73/4 in shot put and 193-0 in discus
BY STEPHEN LYNCH, Special to The Californian | Friday, Apr 25 2008 11:19 PM
Last Updated: Friday, Apr 25 2008 11:49 PM
Frontier sophomore Matt Darr took his gray towel and briskly dusted the discus throwing circle at Friday’s Foothill Invitational Track and Field Meet.
Foothill High’s Dayshan Ragans puts the shot put Friday at the Foothill Track and Field Invitational. He won the event with a mark of 63-foot, 7-3/4-inch.
But it was Foothill’s Dayshan Ragans that swept away the competition, winning both the discus and shot put by beating out Darr and Bakersfield’s Collin Ellis.
Ragans won the shot with a season best mark of 63 feet, 73/4 inches before easily outdistancing his two biggest rivals and everyone else in the discus with a throw of 193-0.
“I felt like it was an excellent day in the shot,” Ragan said. “I came out there. I was ready to go. I had some big spin, big half turns, big warm-ups. Then I got in there and ended up throwing a 63. I expected to throw a 65 today but I guess things happen.”
Ragans topped his previous season best by three inches.
Darr finished second in the event with a personal best 53-1. His previous best was 50-5.
But it may have came with a price, as Darr finished third in the discus (156-8), well short of his season-best 180-5.
“I had a really good day in the shot put and I think it took a lot out of me and affected me in the discus,” Darr said.
Ellis set personal bests in both events. He finished second in the discus (167-5), topping his previous best by half an inch. He was third in the shot with a personal best 50-9.
Ragans fouled on his attempt in the discus before rebounding to finish with a throw about five feet shy of his personal best of 197-11.
“The discus was going kind of sloppy in the beginning,” Ragans said. “My first two throws were not so great…And then my third throw went over 180. On my last throw I wasn’t really doing technique. I was just trying to go for it and give it my all.”
Darr and Ellis give Ragans a reason to continue to give it his all.
“Me and the guys get along real good, Ragan said. “We push each other even though our marks are apart from each other. We still push each other. We still make other try to throw farther.”
Darr finds the strong competition beneficial too.
“It’s great,” Darr said. “Last year I was so overwhelmed. I through against Dayshan a few times and it was awesome to be in the same ring as him. Of course Collin Ellis is an excellent thrower too and we’ve always battled out.”

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.
