The Bakersfield Jockey Club will honor 17 local student-athletes — one from Cal State Bakersfield, two from Taft College and 14 from Kern County high schools — at its Tuesday morning gathering at Hodel’s Country Dining restaurant.
The athletes will receive a special plaque after being chosen for their work in sports and in the classroom. The guest presenter of these awards on Tuesday is Bakersfield College softball coach Casey Goodman, whose team finished second in the Western State Conference South division with a 9-3 mark and will be preparing her Renegades team to compete in the upcoming 3C2A playoffs.
