MVMS Tracksters Score Well in District Meet
Mountain Valley Middle School was busy in Wimberley last Friday as their District Track Meet had all hands on deck for this event.
“We are really proud of how all of our kids competed at the district meet,” Athletic Coordinator Brandon Pawelek said. “They worked hard all season and we had quite a few personal records throughout our boys and girls teams……We had school records set by Nic Rivera in both 110 and 300 meter hurdles, as well as, Devon Cordell in the discus as well as both 7th and 8th grade girls 4×100 meter relay teams.”
MV Hawk Proud
The Hawks had several athletes that excelled on Friday with Rivera topping all MVMS students scoring 28 points after combining all events Rivera was entered.
Those boys hurdles will be busy next year for Canyon Lake as that is presently the best part of the Hawks high school team headlined by Brandon Courtney.
Well, Rivera served notice that he is ready to make his mark after setting MVMS bests in those events with two 1st place finishes.
Rivera’s 16.31 time in the 110 hurdle run would stand as the 4th best for the High School while the 300 hurdle event he stands in 5th place with his time of 43.26.
Rivera was not the only athlete with impressive numbers as Canyon Lake Girls can hardly wait for Kaitlyn Yuill to be in attendance and add some points in those longer races.

Yuill finished 2nd in the mile and 1st in the 2400 meter run, as those 18 points would not be contested by any Hawks. Those points would be valued as a gold standard in year’s to come.
“The girls all around had a great season,” Girls Coach Rachel Miller calculated. “They have been working really hard and competing every week to earn spots to go to the different meets and it showed at district with the majority of the girls running their best times.”
Both of the Girls grades were near the top of the heap as both 7th and 8th graders have some good track athletes.
“With the 8th graders, it really came down to the very last race, 4×400, to decide the district champion,” Coach Miller continued. “The girls ran their best time all season and I could not have been prouder.”
Mountain Valley will be loaded with good 8th graders next season too as this year’s 7th Grade Girls scored in many of the events.
“The 7th graders have shown great potential to be very competitive in track,” Coach Miller praised. “I’m excited to see how they continued to grow and progress for next year…..We ended up 3rd overall at district and with this group, and yes, some was in part to our field events point lacking.”
MV only amassed 14 points in the field events when Karleigh Schedlbauer won the triple jump and place 5th in the long jump for 12 of those points.
“I’m not worried about them next year,” Coach Miller contemplated. “Throughout the season they showed they could perform in those events and every day is a new day and you have to bring your best and unfortunately at district we jumped and threw a little short.”
Madison Churbe had an impressive 13 second 100 meter run which ranks 2nd all time for the Hawk High School team and will help bolster more depth and points when she arrives on the high school campus next season.
MV also had 3 girls place in the 400 meter dash with all recording under 69 seconds finishing 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Liliana Eyster, Kalani Thorpe, and Hailey Forester were separated by just .44 of a second.
Thorpe scored a 4th place in the 800 meter run which is another gold standard run that the present varsity team has not had luck in scoring points.
Alicia Niestemski finished 1st in the 200 meter dash as this student was one of 8 other Hawks to finish the day in double digits. Niestemski scored 19 points just 4 points behind Churbe.
The Hawk Varsity girls will lose 3 hurdle runners to graduation but there will be help on its way as Lainee Moses and Alyssa Strickland scored 20 points total in those two hurdle events.
That speed had the 8th Grade Girls finish 1st in the 4×100 relay with a time that would finish 4th on the Varsity Girls All-Time marks.
Last year as 7th Graders this group of ladies finished with a 54.78 and one year later came across the finish line with a time of 53.09.
Staying with the Girls, Mountain Valley’s 7th Grade Girls upped the ante with a 53.00, 4×100 relay time giving you an idea of the speed demons coming up through the ranks as those times are pretty lofty.
Karleigh Schedlbauer was the high point scorer for the 7th Grade Girls with 26 points and finishing 1st in the long jump and as part of the 4×100 relay team. Schedlbauer had points in all 5 events entered.
MVMS Boys 7th Grade was led by Troy Eyster with 19.5 points as he finished first in the 300 meter hurdles while Craig White won the shot-put for the Hawks.
CL Boys have added some distance runners and will have some more help coming in next year as Cayden McLaughlin, Jakob Christensen, and Kyle Yuill will be coming through the ranks as those athletes scored points in those marathon runs.
Crawfish Are Good For You! Go Mountain Valley Hawks!!
Seth Titzman finished first in the open 400 meter dash crossing the line with a 57.05 and followed by Fabian Celis just .82 for a second place trophy.
Devin Cordell had a first place, 133-1.25 discus throw for Mountain Valley as the shot put event had 3 Hawks scoring with Cordell finishing with a 4th place, Jeremiah Price coming in 3rd and Jackson Stricker with a 5th place throw.
When you can get 3 Hawks in the points in one event then that will tell you how deep the depth has progressed as those 3 Hawks garnered 12 points.
Another 1st place happened in the 100 meter dash for the 7th grade boys when Ryan Rivali hit the tape in 12.68 time.
A lot of good happenings as this group of athletes get closer to high school and with each year can hopefully improve on those times and throws and jumps for some great memories for years to come.
Congrats Mountain Valley and Go Hawks!!
