New Home For State Track Meet

The CIF State Track and Field Championships will be held at Buchanan High School in Clovis for the next three years.

Rio Mesa High athletic director Brian FitzGerald spent the last two days in Oakland at the CIF Executive Committee Board meeting and said a three-year contract was completed.

Beginning with the 2009 meet, the state championships will be held at Veterans Memorial Stadium on the campus of Buchanan High.

It's first time since 1973 that the state championships will be held at a high school campus. The two-day meet has alternated between Cerritos College in Norwalk and Sacramento City College.

"For us, it's a closer trip and we won't have to fly when we travel up that way," FitzGerald said. "It will save us a little money. Plus, I like the idea of having it at a high school facility."

FitzGerald's trip to Oakland came during the Raiders coaching circus, which resulted in owner Al Davis firing head coach Lane Kiffin. FitzGerald could see the Raiders complex across the street from his meetings, but he didn't drop by the press conference.

"I don't even know who they got to replace him," FitzGerald said.

It's Tom Cable.
