Kern County Qualifiers to Nationals:

From the Lamont Reporter:

On Sunday, Nov. 30th, 18 Lamont runners traveled to Folsom High School outside of Sacramento to compete for a
chance in the USATF Junior Olympic National Championships to be held in Mechanicsville, Virginia on Dec. 13th. The
course was very challenging and the competition was stiff, but 3 runners made the top 20 and are hoping to travel to
Virginia next week to represent Lamont at the National Championships. The three qualifiers are: Abraham Preciado, Emily
Villa and Neftali Santos. Abraham held on tenaciously to 20th place in the bantam boys 3k race with a time of 14:13.
Emily had to come from behind in the last 200 meters to pass another runner and secure her berth to nationals with a
time of 15:03. Finally Neftali ran a very steady race to finish 19th in the youth boys 4K race with a time of 14:15. Mr.
Hatley is very proud of all the runners who competed. They worked very hard. Look for the whole team in the Lamont
Christmas Parade. They will also be traveling to the Southern California Championships in Torrance on Dec. 14th.
Anyone wishing to help support these athletes with donations or sponsorships may contact Coach Hatley at Alicante
School. (845-1452)

The Junior Olympic program is a progressional series of meets consisting of preliminary,
Association, Regional, and National meets. Athletes are required to submit an entry form only at
the first level of competition, as advancement is based upon performance (i.e., an athlete
cannot directly submit an entry form for the Regional competition; he/she must have competed
and advanced at the Association meet).

Advancement

See USATF
Competition Rule 305.3 for specific rules on qualifying for the National
Championships. Generally, the first 20 individual finishers and first three teams in each age
division at the Regional Championships will qualify for the National Championships. Athletes
and teams from some Associations will qualify directly from their Association Championships as
follows: top 10 individuals and 1st team in each age division. Contact your local association or
regional meet director to learn more about how to qualify for the National Championships, or
visit the Junior Olympic Cross Country information page. Participant numbers are fixed and no
alternate athletes may advance if qualifying athletes or teams choose not to enter the National
Championships.
