Kern County, one of our own is in the @usatf Olympic Trials today. Liberty grad and current Ohio State junior Faith Bender (@benderstrong) at 5pm on Peacock in the women’s discus qualifying round four decades after her dad, Paul, competed in the trials.
DOUBLE TROUBLE
Liberty senior Bella Turner is back in the girls 300 hurdle state finals. Ran a 43.45, good for 8th place.
Also qualified for the 100 hurdle finals. Did the same last year.
Tomorrow. She seeks her first podium.
Cool stuff here.

Liberty senior Bella Turner has punched her ticket to the 110 hurdle finals for the second consecutive season.
The Cal State Fullerton-signed hurdler took 5th in the prelims with a PR time of 14.17. But that was actually the third fastest time. Fast heat.

Bella Turner is your Back to Back winner of the 100h and 300h at the Division 1 Championships! She broke the Meet record in both races!! Congratulations Bella!
Congrats to the Lady Patriots on a 3-1 victory over Garces in the D1 Central Section finals! A great team effort for Liberty to bring home the title! #patsup
