“We said right then that Chris could be a state champion by his senior year,” Rietz said. “He made it a year early.”

Junior Chris Schwartz of Foothill (CE) in Bakersfieldis among the favorites after posting the best time of the year (15:21) on the Woodward Park course but his erratic racing style often has contrasting effects, sometimes intimidating the competition an it other times causing him to dive into oxygen debt. With a smart racing plan, he could enjoy yet another momentous breakthrough!

valley is thursday and i believe our girls run at 1:30 and the boys run
at 3:30. the top three teams qualify and then:
Individual Qualifiers
A Maximum of five (5) individuals (not on an automatic team entry) per the
criteria in each division will qualify from Section to State meet finals. Sections entering Three teams - Individuals must place in the top 14 at section finals to qualify.
so to make it to state in division one, you need to be one of the five fastest individuals and be in the top 14 in the race.
so last year in the boys race. 1. Madera 26 (80:43); 2. Buchanan 55 (81:59); 3. Clovis East 69 (82:47) made it as teams. no individuals qualified.
the highest kern athlete, cody gragg (north) came in 20th in a time of 16:53. in the 2006 girls race. 1. Buchanan 18 (94:16); 2. Madera 75 (99:35); 3. Clovis East 96 (101:10) made it as teams. three individuals qualified. jennifer dittman (centennial) 19:46, monica morley (centennial) 19:52 and candace carlson (north) 19:24.
The Valley meet will be conducted in five (5) divisions. Schools will compete in the division determined by the previous year CBEDS, grades 9-12. If a school incurs a gain / loss on enrollment of a minimum of fifteen percent (15%) in the current year (October 2007 CBED), then the October 2007 CBED enrollment figures shall be used in place of the 2006 CBEDS enrollment figures to determine the school’s division for 2006 (per CIF Bylaws)

what a nice day for a cross country meet. it was cool and cloudy and the racing was hot. i have not found the complete results (i will post them when i get them). but i do know that mcfarland won the varsity and frosh/soph boys team races. the girls varsity team race was close and i dont know who won.
chris schwartz (foothill) and candace carlson (north) ran away with the individual titles. i spoke to chris a bit and he was please with his race but just missed breaking 15 minutes. he also told me that someone stole his batman cape that he wore at mt sac. he is looking forward to next weekend’s chess tournament (he won a trophy last year) too.
i look forward to him winning a state title. speaking of state titles, i think mcfarland will be getting one this year. they got amazing depth, great coaches and are fierce competitors. it has been a pleasure to be able watch them and chris run this year at many meets.
on thursday, we return for the league meets. the seyl races should be good ones. the highland boys are undefeated and there is a three way tie for second (foothill, bakersfield and liberty). the battle for second behind chris in the individual race should be good too.
on the girls side, foothill is undefeated and bakersfield’s only lost was to foothill. so if bakersfield wins the league meet. then foothill and bakersfield will be co-champs. the individual girls race should be between foothil and bakersfield too.
