Saugus runner Stephanie Bulder qualified in two events for the CIF State Track and Field Championships in Clovis this weekend.

Valencia’s Faith Anumba also qualified for the state meet in two events. She will compete in the long jump and triple jump.
West Ranch’s Jennifer Owen and Ashley Welker qualified in the 800.
While Saugus has the most runners in the state meet, the Canyon boys have the most fortunate.

The Canyon relay team tied for the sixth-fastest time. After the four teams were disqualified, Canyon had the fourth-fastest time and earned a spot in the state meet.
