- After alternating between Sacramento and Los Angeles, the state meet will be at Buchanan High School for
the next three years. In fact, this will be the first time the meet will be held at a high school in reason memory
(Last time was in 1973). Having covered numerous meets at Buchanan's Veterans Stadium, I know they will
put on an excellent meet and they have a world class facility. The weather is the only real concern for most,
Forecast HERE.
- CIF-State Boys Team Rankings - California Top 10 HERE. Frontier is predicted to place 7th on matt
Darr's throwing ability alone.
- Throws Preview HERE. Jelemini (Shafter), Collatz (Stockdale) and Matt Darr are feature in this video
preview.
- Jumps Preview HERE. Preview video featuring defending state triple jump champ Johnny Carter of
Ridgeview.
- Who Made State? (Girls) HERE. Brushay Wandick (Bakersfield 12) made state in the 100, 200 and
both relays. Frontier's Taylor Jackson (11) was the only other female track athlete to make State. Though the
favorite in both hurdles, she only made it in the 300. In the field events Kern County had more success:
Amanda Klinchuch (Liberty 12) made it the pole vault, Shanesha Epps (Golden Valley) in the long jump. Anna
Jelmini (Shafter) and Alex Collatz (Stockdale) made it in throws and Lacie Rasley (Shafter) made it in the
shot as well.
- Who Made State? (Boys) HERE. On from the track, Stockdale's Nathan Alada made it in the 100, Isiah
Purvis (Ridgeview) in the 200, 400 & 4 x 400, Jerrid Lewis (Ridgeview) in the 800, Chris Schwartz in the
1600 & 3200, and Centenial and Ridgeview in the 4 x 400. In the field events, George Robbins (West) and
Phillip McCullum Made it in the high jump, Marty Affentranger (Liberty) in the long jump and 400, Johnny
Carter (Ridgeview) in the triple jump and Matt Darr (Frontier) in the throws.
- Girls 400 & 1600 Relay HERE. The Lady Drillers qualified in both.
- Boys 1600 Relay HERE. Centennial and Ridgeview hope to make the Saturday night final.
- Brushay Wandick - (Bakersfield High Sr) HERE. Has won numerous SEYL & South Area titles over the
years and has qualified to compete in four events at State this year.

- Amanda Klinchuch - (Liberty Sr) HERE. Top ranked pole vaulter returns to state meet.
- Shanesha Epps (Golden Valley) HERE. Qualified in the long jump.

- Nathan Alada (Stockdale Sr) HERE. Makes his first trip to state by beating the favorites.

- Jerrid Lewis (Ridgeview Jr) HERE. Jerrid joins a state field that is only a second or two apart.
- Chris Schwartz (Foothill Sr) HERE. He is only running the 3200 and is looking for a title. Other media
sources are not even mentioning him as a contender for the 3200 title. Video Preview HERE.
- George Robbins (West Sr) HERE. Returns to state in the high jump.
- Phillip McCullum (Garces Jr) HERE. Makes first trip to state in the high jump.
- Marty Affentranger (Liberty Sr) HERE. Adds the long jump to the 400.

- Matt Darr (Frontier Jr) HERE. Returns to state in both throwing events. Many think he has a shot to sweep
like Ragans (Foothill 08') did last year.
- Returning Finalists? HERE. Just making it to state is a huge achievement, but a handful of Kern athletes
may not only return to State, but made it to the finals last year.
