April 20, 2016
Twenty-three athletes placed at the district meet, April 12-14.
“I’m happy about district this week, we had a really good meet. Overall freshman, JV and varsity did amazing,” girls coach Kelly Thompson said. “They prepare all year round, just doing what they do.”
Twelve athetes placed in the top four which means they move on to area Thursday, April 21 in Marble Falls. Senior Ross Edwards was one of two guys that qualified for area in individual events, placing third in the high jump. Edwards was also part of the 4×400 relay team that took fourth, advancing to area.
“I felt pretty decent, but I could do better,” Edwards said. “I got my fastest time in the 4×4.”
For the girls, 14 placed in individual events and relays. Senior Kailee Hunt finished third in the discus, with a throw of more than 99 feet.
“I feel very happy on how I did, it’s been a learning process this season,” Hunt said. “This is my first track districts considering the amount of learning and I competed very well.”
Three girls’ relays placed with the 4×400 relay taking third. Nine girls placed in individual events with the team cleaning up in the 1600 and 3200 Meter Runs, taking first, third and fifth in both races. Senior Madie Boreman won both races and was part of the 4×4 team that took third.
“[It was] good, I did fine and I wanted to help my team move on,” Boreman said. “I didn’t run all out and ran the mile, two mile and 4×4 to help my team advance.”
Senior Haley Timmons also placed in the 1600 and 3200, qualifying for area in the two-mile race.
“[I am] really excited and glad I get another chance to race just to see how much better I can get,” Timmons said. “I’m going to keep doing what I’ve been doing.”
The team will travel to Marble Falls on Thursday, April 21 to compete in area.
