Lady Hawk’s Region IV Ready to Make a Difference
Eva Zabarcencu & Sophie Eastland on qualifying blocks! Good Luck & GO HAWKS!
Let’s GO FAST LAKE!
The Lake will be off to the races this week when girls go against Region IV schools for a chance of being in that final and ultimate prize ~ State Meet.
Track & Field is a sport where each competitor has two goals. Win an event and/0r achieve a personal best (PR).
With each meet during this time of the season athletes are working through a sieve that eventually only have two that reach that final round.
FLY FAST HAWKS!
The times and distances below will not have every athlete showing a mark.
The ReSporter only has events that involve a Hawks. The list reflects how our Lake’s time/distance squares up with other schools. This allows you to see what would need to be done to advance to State.
If athletes haven’t performed better than a Hawk Athlete then they will not have their showing~showing, unless their time or mark was close enough to make a difference.
Go Lake Beat Everyone!
Hence, that first salvo (qualifying) comes into play with that second part of achieving a PR in their event.
Region IV in Kingsville will begin this Thursday with finals for all the Field Events and 3200 Meter Run.
There were four athletes from Area Meet who made the cut for this Region Meet which will now have qualifying running events for Saturday and crowning those two athletes that make the State Meet.
Hawk Proud
The Lake Girls have eight events as follows:
THE LAKE LADIES will compete in two Relays, 100 & 200 meter dash, 3200 & 1600 meter runs, 100 & 300 Hurdles, Long Jump and Pole Vault.
4x100 Relay 47.13 Aubrey Avey, Te’a Gonzales Shana Cutrer, Savanna Oberholtzer Manor Tech 47.14
All other schools in this Region are in the 49 second area. CL’s time is an all time best as they topped last year’s 4×100 relay team that ran, 48.14 in the State Meet last year.
4x200 Relay 1:41.17 Aubrey Avey, Te’a Gonzales Shana Cutrer, Savanna Oberholtzer The Lake 1:40.76 District Meet Calhoun 1:42.73
These Hawk ladies will attempt to break the 1:40.00 plateau and hopefully make a mark in Austin….Go Lake!
100 Meter Dash Savanna Oberholtzer 12.18 Manor Tech 11.72 El Campo 11.92 Oberholtzer 11.99 2025 Year
Two fast ladies in front of Oberholtzer but certainly in range of making State.
200 Meter Dash Te’a Gonzales 25.40 Manor Tech 24.48 El Campo 24.49 Calhoun 25.35
Gonzales is certainly in the zip code but will need to PR to have a chance for an Austin invite. The question? Can she continue to improve as the season comes into its zenith time.
1600 Meter Run Eva Zabarcencu 5:21.19 Sophie Eastland 5:29.69 Wimberley 5:11.95 Navarro 5:18.58
Zabarcencu (5:15.94) and Eastland (5:25.75) have run faster times than what they turned in at the Area Meet.
Certainly will have a chance for a berth going to Austin and seeing Eastland with another PR is certainly a possibility. This will be a fun race to watch.
3200 Meter Run Eva Zabarcencu 11:52.41 Sophie Eastland 12:08.41 Navarro 11:35.34 Wimberley 11:39.48 La Vernia 11:50.32
Another race that both Zabarcencu (11:37.79) & Eastland (11:53.29) ran faster earlier this season. So those earlier races would be enough to have a chance to Austin. Eastland being a Freshman could make her mark with several more years of reaching a Cadence Patterson all-time time. That might never happen as Patterson had an incredible race of, 10:45.53.
100 Meter Hurdles Shana Cutrer 14.99 Kingsville King 14.19 Rockport 14.48
This will take a herculean effort for Cutrer but this young lady has certainly continued to get faster and faster this season. Certainly in the realm of possibility.
Cutrer’s time is the only Hawk to break the 15 second barrier. Alyssa Strickland (15.06) could have but her final year was cut short by CHINA COVID which grounded all races which did not have to be. Just Sayn.
300 Meter Hurdles Aubrey Avey 45.50 Rockport 45.06
Avey ran a 43.03 last year and has been faster than her Area time above.
So this is certainly a possibility of going to Austin again for this Senior Hawk!
Long Jump Savanna Oberholtzer 16-10.00 Kingsville King 18-08.75 El Campo 18-06.50 Freeport 18-05.00 Calallen 18-01.75 Wimberley 17-09.00 La Vernia 17-08.50
Oberholtzer will need to reach back to last year when she set the Hawk All-Time mark of 18-05.00. If she can…then that would be a possibility for another Austin ticket.
Pole-Vault Katelyn Lowth 11-00 Pleasanton 11-09 Rockport 11-06 Lago Vista 11-06
Lowth reached her personal best at the Area Meet and could she reach another personal best this week? Time will tell.
What we do know with this event many things could prevent athletes to reach their best with so many variables going into this most fascinating event in Track & Field.
Let’s GO FAST & JUMP FAR-HIGH LAKE!
