NEW YORK -- The Stockdale High boys 4-mile team of Cameron Miller, Connor Fisher, Curtis Kelly and Blake Haney finished third Saturday in the New Balance Indoor Nationals at the New Balance Track and Field Center, and set a state indoor record in the process.

Their time was 17 minutes, 30 seconds, and it broke Stockdale's school record of 17:59 set in the 2011 Arcadia Invitational. It also is the 11th-best mark all-time in the U.S., and the Mustangs were honored at NSSF Indoor Track and Field All-Americans based on their top-six finish.

MISSION HILLS -- As Independence coach Val Mancera called a timeout 2 minutes into the Falcons' CIF state playoff game against MissionHills-Alemany, it was clear his team's chances were going to rely heavily on its ability to limit its mistakes.

Independence guard Vanessa Mancera, had just been smothered by two trapping Alemany defenders and picked up her dribble. Not wanting to let the play become his team's fifth turnover of the night, the Independence coach asked for a timeout.

It goes down as the worst season in CSU Bakersfield's 11-year history of women's basketball.

But Saturday's dramatic come-from-behind 89-87 win over Seattle University in the Icardo Center will be used as a springboard to the future, not the wrap up of a long season.

NEAR TEHACHAPI PEAK -- Footprints in the snow made it pretty clear last week that someone continues to trespass on the Wyman family's land atop Tehachapi Mountain.

Ordinarily that might not raise an eyebrow. Hikers have long tramped through the property on their way to Tehachapi Peak, a nearly 8,000-foot summit said to offer sweeping views of the Mojave Desert, Central Valley and the southern Sierra Nevada.
