Led by Campbell, women’s team qualifies for state cross country meet

The Bakersfield College women’s cross-country team qualified for the State Championships by finishing 11th in the Southern California Regional Cross Country Championships at Central Park in Santa Clarita.

The BC men didn’t qualify as a team, but freshman Juan Calderon qualified for state as an individual.

The BC women had a team time of 1:43:54 with 307 points. Freshman Jessica Campbell finished at 28th place with the time of 20:05.57.

“It went really well,” Campbell said when asked about the race performance. During the run, Campbell said she rolled her ankle during the final mile of the race.

“Right now I’m trying to heal up for the meet so that I can get myself everything I got at state,” she said.

The other four runners to place for the Renegades included sophomore Orieth Rodriguez, who came in at 20:33.91, Esthefani Perez finished with the time of 20:42.71, and behind her for BC was Amber Cruz at 21:10.88.
