The CL Hawk Track and Field Teams finished their District Meet bunched in the middle as they hope to break from the pack with several younger athletes that showed off their skills against older students.

In other words, don’t get caught up in this year’s point totals because the future is where this finish line will be.

Several Hawks had breakout seasons and next year will hopefully be able to fly to their finish line.

Case and point, a Freshman Hurdler that took this year by storm, by the name of Brandon Courtney who broke all of the Hawk records in the 110 and 300 meter hurdles.

 Old Timer Hurdle Records              Newbies Coming up
                            300 Meter Hurdle
 Karl Tucker       42.23   2010        Brandon Courtney    40.51    Freshman
 Repa Dakota       42.32   2011        Joe Marple          44.39    Freshman
 Luke Steward      42.44   2011        Devin Coco          45.38    Junior
 Chandler Faulkner 43.81   2011        Heath McDonough     46.48    Freshman
                                       Micah St. John      47.26    MV 8th Grade
                                       Ben Fulton          48.12    MV 8th Grade

Makes you wonder what might be in store…of the Hawk Boys and Girls Track Team, there were only 4 Seniors on each team.

 Christian Dittman              Savannah Cooper
 Isaac Mendez                   Rebekah Flint
 Javier Mendez                  Hannah Graves Finished year injured
 Conner Ricker                  Trena Lorett Injured for the season

It does not take long to call roll when class starts.

In those hurdle marks above you can see how close the younger athletes are to what used to be a good time of 42 seconds, and in the case of Courtney, he just blew those old records out of the water.

Now, you have to be 1.5 seconds faster to challenge for the best Hawk mark.

That is almost true for all the events and with a strong 8th grade coming up, then this Track and Field future looks promising.

Canyon Lake’s following Hawk players will be participating in the Area Meet next Wednesday and Thursday.

================================================

Junior Varsity Tracksters also did well last week with a 4th Place finish for the Girls scoring 69 points and a 4th Place finish for the Boys with 88 points scored.

Both of these teams would of scored many more points but many of the Freshman and Sophomores were moved up to Varsity because of injuries and lack of depth.

So these points would of put both teams near the top after looking at those results for Varsity.
