The Wolf Pack was the Leading Pack Again

Both Ridgeview squads were undefeated in SWYL last year and expect to do the same this year. Today's meet was pretty easy for both squads but especially for the boys. Robby Baker lead his squad to the lowest score possible (15) against both North and West.

The spread between first and fifth for Ridgeview keeps decreasing and this week it was 1:09. Of Course, Robby and Alex may have taken it easy this week.

A Loaded Division Three

To win this division you have to have 5 super solid athletes and the top four schools are deep. Last year Ridgeview put 4 runners in the top 15 and came in third. This year all four return and I am certain that Coach Setzer has found a fifth.

Another deep squad is Shafter who had an outstanding track season with almost ten returning athletes going sub five in the 1600.

Ridgeview junior Johnny Carter set a new personal record in the triple jump at the USA Track & Field Region 14 Junior Olympic Outdoor Championships at Liberty on Sunday.

Carter's new mark is 49 feet, 1.75 inches, which won the Intermediate Division at the meet and qualified him for the national event starting July 28 in Greensboro, N.C. Carter won the 2008 CIF state championship in the triple jump with a wind-aided jump of 49-0.75 but had never before jumped a wind-legal 49 feet.
