Going For The Three-Peat

Sarah Baker (photo) has two SEYL individual titles and one team title so far plus a fist full of SEYL track titles too. In 2007, her squad one the team title with some help from Highland at the league meet. That year the Drillers lost a dual to Foothill but won the league meet.

In 2008, Bakersfield had a really good foursome (Baker, Lerma, Shuford and Garcia) but without a 5th, large field meets were a problem. They went undefeated in duals but without a 5th girl like they had with Sandy Felix (08) they could not defend their title.

Going into the 2009 season, they should have this tight foursome and have quite a few girls who can be their fifth runner and solve their big meet scoring problem. Besides going after SEYL titles, Baker looks to qualify for the state in the super fast division one, where no Kern County team has a shot at qualifying for the most part.

Last year, late season injuries kept two (Lerma and Garcia) of their four runners from competing at the valley meet.
