Mustangs are Ranked 4th in Division 1

With Blair Slaton (photo), Stephen Burke (Jr) and Curtis Kelly (So) leading the way, Stockdale is the top ranked division one team from Kern County. The teams in front of them are really good, so their chances of making the top three at valley and moving on to state our slim.

But they should give Ridgeview a run for it's money in the SWYL if they find an athlete or two. Last season, Curtis was the second fastest freshman in the valley on the Woodward course (16:32 for the 5k).

Rounding out the top ten are Centennial (9) and Bakersfield (10). With Drillers entire varsity squad graduating, it is doubtful that they will be staying in the top ten. Speaking of the Drillers, Centennial's new coach is former Driller great Vondre Armour (state 800 champ) who hopes to lead the Golden Hawks to success this year.
