It was in the high 90s and very humid today at McFarland high school today. The course was a one mile loop around the track and playing fields and the length was a 5k. All the divisions ran the same 5k course.
The varsity girls race was won by Ridgeview's Tijerra Lynch in a time of 19:26 and her squad won the team title as well. On the boys side, Robby Baker (Ridgeview Sr) won the 5k in 16 flat and lead his squad to a team victory. This is the first time in recent memory that a Kern County team has beaten McFarland in any meet in years.
In fact, last year I did the math and an all-star team from Bakersfield that include state champ Chris Schwartz would have lost to McFarland at valley last year! So for Ridgeview to pull off this win is impressive.
Next up for Ridgeview is to go sub 85 (17 minute average per man) as a team at Woodward, McFarland squads doing it all the time but no other Kern County team has done in in recent memory. Ridgeview got close with an 85:02 last year.
