Pre Meet Info:

Meet Preview:
This year's Valley meet will be different due to a lot of divisional placement movement.
Supposedly the changes were based on the past two year's results but I and others
don't see the logic in these changes. Anyways, the placement have been made and
here are where Kern County schools ended up.


Boys Division 1 - Three Teams Qualify for State
  • Sections entering Three teams - Individuals must place in the top 14 at section finals to qualify
  • Bakersfield - This veteran squad came in second overall in the SEYL and is lead by Andrew Ariey who hopes to get
    in the top 14 at Valley so he can run at State. Three teams qualify for State but the Fresno teams are really good.
    Buchanan is ranked number three in the state and there are all the other Clovis schools and Madera to contend
    with. What makes it difficult for Ariey to qualify is that these schools will have a lot of runners in the top 14.
    Buchanan's entire team could be in the top 14.
  • Centennial - As a reward for winning the division 2 championship title last year, they got moved up to division one.
    This year has been a year of change for the Golden Hawks due to the retirement of their long time coach Randy
    Jones. Their top runner (Vincent) came in 5th at league and the team came in 3rd in the SWYL.
  • Stockdale - Has a young team which is lead by Curtis Kelly (freshman) who came in 3rd at the SWYL meet. His
    team came in second in the SWYL behind a very powerful Ridgeview squad. I expect Kelly to be up there with Ariey
    for one of the individual tickets to State.

Boys Division 2 - Two Teams Qualify for State
  • Sections entering Two teams - Individuals must place in the top 12 at section finals to qualify
  • East - Has a young team that keeps improving and always has a very small time gap between their top five. At the
    Kern Invite and SEYL they were only a few points behind Highland. Last year, Oscar Fuentez made state for the
    Blades.
  • Highland - Has the tough trio of Van Zandt, Lewis and Turner who with there team made it to State last year. They
    may make a return there depending on how their 4th and 5th runners do. With only two team spots up for grabs ,
    they may be edging out East for the final ticket to State.
  • Garces - Who knows why they are in D2, supposedly placement was based on past season's records. Garces has
    had a few good individuals like O'Malley and Guzman but very little team success in league or valley. In the past,
    Garces has been in D4 and now they are in D2
  • North - Last year, North's Cody Gragg made state but this year will be a rebuilding year for the Stars. At SWYL,
    they were lead by Adam Ralls who has been improving with each meet.
  • Liberty - Last year, Liberty's Talon Reed made state and this year he is serving our country in the Army. This year,
    Liberty has a young team and is looking towards the future.

Boys Division 3 - Two Teams Qualify for State
  • Sections entering Two teams - Individuals must place in the top 12 at section finals to qualify
  • Arvin - When I ran for Highland in the early 80s, Arvin had really good teams. In recent years, they have not. For
    them the new placement rules have been good because last year they were in D1.
  • Frontier - Came in 4th in the SWYL.
  • Ridgeview - This is coach Setzer's third season and his team was undefeated in SWYL action. They have front
    runners like Garcia, Solis and Baker and a great supporting cast. At Roughrider this year they almost broke 85
    minutes as a team (only Mcfarland has done it recently) on the Woodward park course. They will need to break 85
    to make state I bet. Madera South beat them at the McFarland Invite and is coached by a former Madera coach
    who won a whole bunch of valley titles. I do not know anything about Roosevelt but I do know Shafter and Wasco
    have good teams.
  • Shafter - The Generals have been off my radar but at the Kern Invite, I really noticed them. They took third at the
    meet behind McFarland and Ridgeview. Then this week they won a SSL title over Wasco. For years Wittenberg,
    has lead this team but this year his teammates (Handel and Villalponde) have caught up with him. With the new
    divisional placements, Shafter will have a hard time making it to state.
  • South - Lucky that West is in the SWYL or they would be last and they got moved down to D3.
  • West - Every school in the SWYL beat West with a 15 (lowest possible score) except for North this year. At league,
    my records show that they did not even have 5 finishers.
  • Foothill - Chris Schwartz is the defending D1 champ and came in second in the 3200 last year. Hethe Tro broke
    nine in the 3200 and I hope he breaks fifteen at Woodward this year. Some how Trojans got moved down from D1
    to D3 which maybe good for the team but I really wanted to see Chris go up against Buchanan and Dana Hills at
    state. Foothill came in 3rd in SEYL action (East and Bakersfield tied for second behind Highland.).
  • Golden Valley - Daymon Sandles is the team. He came in 7th at SEYL and his team came in last. They also lost
    every dual meet too.
  • Tehachapi - Came in a distant 3rd at the SSL meet.
  • Wasco - This sqad is lead by 4 time SSL champ Mendoza (former state qualifier) and came in 2nd to Shafter at the
    SSL meet.

Boys Division 4 - 3 Teams Qualify for State
  • Sections entering Three teams - Individuals must place in the top 14 at section finals to qualify
  • Taft - Came in 6th at the SSL meet.
  • Independence - New school with only underclassman, they won the Freeway league title.
  • Mcfarland - This year they will get their tenth state title and on the way they will pick up another valley title. There
    whole squad has gone sub 17 at Woodward and I bet one or two will join Schwartz in the Club 15 club this year.
    They have won just about every invite they have run at and this year Cisneros lead the to a victory over Big Bear
    (their main state rival) at Mt Sac.
  • Mira Monte - New school with only underclassman, they placed 3rd in the Freeway league title.
  • Bakersfield Christian - Was moved up this year and came in 5th in the SSL meet.

Girls Division 1 - Two Teams Qualfy for State:
  • Sections entering Two teams - Individuals must place in the top 12 at section finals to qualify
  • Bakersfield - The Drillers went undefeated in dual meets but got third in the league meet and took 2nd overall in
    the SEYL. This young team (all sophomores) was lead by two time SEYL champ Sarah Baker who has a good shot
    at making state on her own. If her team had a 5th runner, they would of had an outside shot at making state too.
  • Centennial - Like their boys squad, they to won valley last year and got moved up. The Golden Hawks came in 4th
    in SWYL this year. Their unbeaten dual meet streak (since school opened) was snapped this year too.
  • Stockdale - The Lady Mustangs have had good squads year after year but always had Centennial to deal with.
    Just their luck that now Ridgeview seems to have taken over Centennial's dominance. Last year, Ashley Nolasco
    qualified for state for Stockdale.

Girls Division 2 - Three Teams Qualify for State
  • Sections entering Three teams - Individuals must place in the top 14 at section finals to qualify
  • Garces - Sadly, Garces got moved up to D2 from D4. They are a small school and their team record has never
    been good. They do have a talented runner who in D4 would have a real shot at making state. If Monica Guzman,
    can hold back on her tactic of going out super hard and fading in the end, she might have a shot at making state.
  • East - The Lady Blades did not field a team of 5 through most of the season. Last year freshman Sophia Garcia
    made it to state and this year, her sister Lucia might take her place at state. She was with the lead runners at the
    SEYL meet and came in third at the end.
  • Frontier - Came in 5th this year in the SWYL. Last year their freshman, Halle Meadows made it to the state meet.
    She has been injured since track season and has just recently started running again after a month long layoff. If
    valley was a few weeks later, she might of had a chance for a comeback.
  • Liberty - Came in 4th in SEYL action. They are lead by Ashley Barton who placed 11th at league. Earlier in the
    season she was very dominant but the others girls have caught up with her. At valley, she will get to run against
    many of her fellow SEYLers and I expect her to improve her showing against them.
  • North - The Latest Rankings on this page are not made by me and I doubt North should be ranked so high. If they
    had Candace Carlson (former state qualifier) they might have a shot at making state but she has quit running her
    senior year. They have two good runners, Cecilia Lopez (Sr) and a fast improving freshman Kaylee Moyer who has
    taken over two minutes off her three mile time this season and got 6th place at the SWYL meet.
  • Foothill - Has a good team that has come on strong at the end of the season. They made the SEYL race very
    exciting and came within a point of going from third to first. They are lead by two time SEYL runner up Natalie
    Fernandez who in 6 miles of SEYL meet races over two years has came in second behind Sarah Baker and had
    the same time as the Lady Driller. I really hope she qualifies for state this year because she really deserves it.
  • Highland - The Lady Scots made it to state last year in D2 and appear to have a better squad this year. Plus they
    do not have Centennial in their division either. Lead by Nichole Berry they won the SEYL title in dramatic fashion
    this year by one point. If Foothill had won, there would of been a three way tie for first with Bakersfield, Highland
    and Foothill.

Girls Division 3 - Two Teams Qualify for State
  • Sections entering Two teams - Individuals must place in the top 12 at section finals to qualify
  • Arvin - Came in 5th at the SSL meet.
  • Ridgeview - They were undefeated in duals and won the SWYL meet too. Along the way they won many of the
    invites they attended. Lynch (SWYL Champ) leads are very talented team that show easily make state.
  • Tehachapi - Came in 2nd at the SSL meet.
  • South - Came in 6th at SEYL.
  • West - Came in 7th in SEYL.
  • Golden Valley - Came in last place in the SEYL. Rocha did come in 7th at the league meet.
  • Shafter - For the past couple seasons, Shafter has made it to state. With Ridgeview being moved down to their
    division, their chances at making state got harder. Wittenberg has been one of their top runners and lead them to
    a SSL title this year and has a good chance of going as an individual if her team does not make it.
  • Wasco - Came in 4th in SSL.
