BAKERSFIELD, CA - Renegade Athletics is proud to announce the Athletes of the Week of the 2024-25 season this week (04/01/25 - 04/07/24):

Jacob Perez (Sophomore) Track and Field

Jacob Perez competed at the Moorpark Invitational in the 3000M steeplechase and came away with a second-place finish and an A standard time of 9:53.23. An A standard time for an athlete means that they have met or exceeded a specific, usually difficult, qualifying mark or time to be eligible for the 3C2A Championship meet. Perez competed in the event last year but injured himself during the challenging race and has worked to get healthy to compete in the steeplechase again. 

Clarisa Rivera (Sophomore) Softball

Rivera played a key role in the Renegades' three-game sweep, batting .444 with two home runs and five RBIs. Her clutch hitting, including back-to-back games with home runs, helped power Bakersfield to dominant wins over Glendale, LA Valley, and Pasadena City last week. 

Softball will host two more games before finishing the season on the road. Tomorrow they take on Citrus College at 2:30 then Cerritos College on Saturday at 1:00 pm where they will also honor the sophomores at the end of the game. Track and Field will travel to the Cerritos Open on Saturday.
