All Area : Girls Cross Country
Player of the Year
Ridgeview's Tijerra Lynch honored as All-Area Girls Runner of the Year
Tijerra Lynch caught people by surprise in her first year of cross country last season. In most cases this year, she just couldn't be caught.
The Ridgeview junior continued her transition from an 800-meter specialist to one of the top girls cross country runners in the area with another series of dominant performances.
Coach of the Year
Stockdale's Tape selected All-Area Girls Cross Country Coach of the Year
Stockdale girls cross country coach Bree Tape thought 2009 would be the dreaded rebuilding year, a stepping stone for successes down the road.
Then she saw her freshmen, and thought success this year was a heck of a lot closer.
She led the Mustangs to it, winning an SWYL title and the Kern County Championships. Tape is The Californian’s Girls Cross Country Coach of the Year.
