The Canyon Lake Track hosted eight teams Thursday as the weather and

Canyon Lake Tracksters taking it easy

competition lead to a great day on the cinders.

Canyon and Dripping Springs were the largest schools competing as Brownwood, Wimberley, Somerset, Blanco, San Antonio Cole and your Hawks rounded out the field.

Canyon Lake Varsity Boys finished third behind Canyon and Dripping Springs.

The Hawks set several team records for the meet.

Tony Hocutt added to his previous best with a Discus toss of 129 feet and two inches.

The ReSporter would like to thank Mike Brady for his help with supplying the box

Leftfielder/Pitcher Kyler Huff

score information.

When the Spring Sports hit in February, the ReSporter has many plates on the table and it makes getting to all the games a hard venture.

Softball and Baseball with over 20 games for the season would be enough for anyone, but when you add boys and girls Track, Soccer, etc…then you can see how hard getting to all the games can become.

Once again, the help from Mr. Brady has been immeasurable and The ReSporter would like to say Thank-You for your help.

The Hawks lost to Hays Consolidated last Tuesday at Concordia University near Austin.

Canyon Lake Softball team claimed their second victory against Hyde Park in a game played in Austin, Tuesday night.

The Hawks jumped out to a commanding four run lead after the second inning and rode Pitcher Missy Romero and Emma Broussard to the finish line in style.

Romero, because she held the home team to two runs and five hits.

Broussard, because she had only the second homerun for a Hawk in the short history of the program.

Head Coach John Gallagher talked about the at bat, “In the fifth inning Romero led off with a single, Young popped up to the catcher, and Daily reached base on an error. That put runners on first and third and Broussard came to bat and hit a ball deep to right, one bounce off the fence and rolled away….Broussard was at third by that time and the relay came to the second baseman and she rounded and beat the throw home.”

Katy Payne can still rest easy knowing that she still has the only conventional homerun over the fence, but it seems to be only a matter of time before Payne will have company in that department.

The Hawks will be in action starting this Thursday at the Blanco Tournament. Come out, take the short drive and support Canyon Lake.

The ReSporter: “You have some returning and transfer athletes this season, what are your

Head Track Coach Terri Sanders

expectations as the season looms this coming Friday?”

Terri Sanders: “Senior Grady Achilles will be returning to compete for his 100m and 200m state championship titles.  He is also a part of a powerful 4×1 relay consisting of Kevin Knapick, Austin Wilkinson and Connor Simmons.  This should be a great relay team! Austin Wilkinson transferred in and is a powerful runner competing in the 4×1, 4×2, 200m and long jump. Kevin Knapick will once again be competing in 4×1, 4×2, 400m and shot and disc. We have a team of 35 track team members who practice hard and I expect very positive results.”

The ReSporter: “What disadvantages do you have with other programs that actually have a track instead of grass and dirt?”

Terri Sanders: “Our disadvantage in not having a track is especially difficult for our relay teams.  It is hard to practice hand offs on grass and expect it to be the same on a track with cleats.  All our other events we make work without the track and it sometimes proves to our advantage in that as we practice on uneven terrain, it makes running on a track seem so much easier!”

Friday morning at the Canyon Lake Gymnasium, Missy

Missy Romero on her special signing day

This athlete for the Hawks Softball team has taken pen in hand and signed for a scholarship at Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Mississippi.

Romero has been the dominant pitcher for Canyon Lake for three years now working on her fourth campaign in the circle.

Accomplishments for this young lady is plentiful. Take a look at the stats below for pitching and from the batter’s box.

Romero has pitched 376 innings so far while giving up only 178 earned runs for a respectable 3.31 runs per game.

The Hawks took care of Austin Eastside Memorial Panthers in short order Saturday morning for their final contest of the Lockhart Tournament.

The game was set when Canyon Lake answered the bell with six runs to open the first inning.

The Panthers were handling the baseballs like they were wearing paws from their mascot, as the eight errors allowed CL to amass 18 base runners for the shortened contest.

Logan Felch made his presence known with two hits and three run batted in, with two of the hits going for doubles. Felch had one double off the wall and was hit with some degree of authority.

The Canyon Lake Girls Varsity Track started the season with some personal and

Marisa Ellis Reaching New Heights

team records as the 2012 campaign commenced at Blanco last Thursday.

When asked if she was encouraged by the opening of the season, Head Track Coach Lacey Lambert exclaimed, “Yes…I am. Our girls times are where we need to be. We have a big freshman group and they are going to help us in the relays.”

Another athlete that should help is Marisa Ellis as the Volleyball/Basketball/Track Athlete continues to add to an impressive first year after moving in from Midlothian last Summer.

Ellis placed first in the High Jump with a jump of 5’2” and a Triple Jump of 34’2.5”, which turned out to be a Canyon Lake record, but not a personal best for this Junior.

“I want to beat my best Triple Jump of 36’11.5” and go to the Regional,” Ellis started. “I was rushing between the high jump and triple jump and doing that did not allow me to set my timing for the two events.”

Canyon Lake started track season on a strong note last Thursday in Blanco.

The Varsity Boys scored 153 points beating second place Comfort by 36 points.

Several athletes had good performances with a few Canyon Lake All-Time Records set.

Jordan Anderson set the bar pretty high as he totaled 50 points for the Hawks winning all five events entered.

Anderson set a new 400 meter run record winning with a 51.89 run. The race was .60 of a second better than Mikk Griffin who graduated last season and is now running for Angelo State University.

Anderson also set a new all time best on the long jump when he bolted for 20’10.75”, he jumped over Eric Nelson’s record by four inches. Anderson’s previous best was 20’1”, giving you an idea of this athlete chances of making some noise this season.

Canyon Lake traveled to Blanco and ran out of gas before reaching the field, losing

Centerfielder Mary Caroline Jordan

to the Panthers, 7-5.

The Hawks finally figured out the Panther’s pitcher, but the four run seventh inning ended with a base running error squelching a chance for the comeback.

“We’re a young and learning team,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “This is on the job training.”

Before the last inning, CL was only able to scratch out three hits while scoring one run. The run came in the fourth inning and brought the game to within one run for a tie.
