Barton Top Patriot

It is a new era at Foothill in that Schwartz is gone and they have a new head coach. The season has started well for them with two wins in their first dual meet. In the boys race, they took the first two spots and had six in the top ten for the win.

In the girls race, Liberty's Ashley Barton (photo) won but Foothill won the team race with Natalie Fernandez leading them with her second place finish.

Kevin Shotts was the top Liberty boy in 3rd in a time of 17:14

Barton leads the Patriots

Their top five girls averaged 22:51 that day.

Now that Ashley Barton (Jr) has gotten all of injuries out of her system (she hopes), perhaps she can have a complete cross
country season. In the past, she has been a setter on her school's volleyball team and Liberty's top runner. Last year she
ran well the first months of the season before injuring her ankle (I believe) at the Taft Invite. This injury effectively
ended her season in late October. Then in the winter, she broke her arm snowboarding.

Last year, Amanda came in 13th in the pole vault prelims at state. Her 12 foot vault earlier this season earned her a full ride to Long Beach State next year and would put her in the top ten in the state.

It's My Party and I Will Sign on the Dotted Line

On Wednesday, May 20th at Liberty High school one of the best female vaulters to call Bakersfield her home, will sign a letter of intent with Long Beach State. I believe she is the first female vaulter from Bakersfield to receive a full-ride deal. Signing photos HERE.

Amanda Klinchuch's season best is twelve foot and she makes 11'6 in her sleep almost. She is the second ranked vaulter in the valley and was in the state top ten earlier in the season.

Buchanan (has two $30,000 pits!) has world class facilities and the Clovis schools have some good vaulters. So the competition will be good, plus the pits are right in front of the grandstand and the fans know their vaulting
