The Hawk’s Boys improvement from previous seasons is coming along as during this year those first meets to this last one in Navarro is showing promise as this season continues.
Hope for better results has been the goal.
“We are trying to build this program on the boys side back up to what it is ultimately capable”, Head Coach Brad Manning stated. “We had a core group of kids, particularly in the sprint group, that did the work last year, and made significant cuts in overall times and splits. That was so important, because our guys started to believe in their work. That core group knew that if they could make the same jump this year, that we could be competitive.”
Go Lake Beat Everyone!
That certainly has been the case in scoring more points in this Panther Relay, “Yesterday was another chance to go out and hunt those times and splits down,” Coach Manning assess. “Some were able to do it, and some are still powering through with what we asking them to do in offseason for football, and with participation in other sports, the meet really becomes another practice for them. There were some really nice performances yesterday. Jace Morales is starting to really come on in his transition into track shape and did a nice job in the Open 100 and Open 200. Peyton King is continuing to prove he can become a horse in the 200/400’s for us. Joseph Matos continues to cut his split in the 4×400 each week, running a 51 as we continue to look at how the pieces will fit for that race. Jacob Stahla won the JV 110 hurdles, as he is proving to be a talented young runner. Cayden Toon placed 3rd in the Shot and Jacob Price placed 3rd in the Triple Jump, respectively.”
Break the Dam~ Lake!
Coach Manning closed looking to future meets, “As we get closer to the district meet, it will be about figuring out the right combinations of athletes and tapering them down to get maximum performance out of them and get as many events out of district as we can. We have a lot of work to do still, but I am proud of our improvement and look forward to what happens down the stretch.”
This meet had CLake scoring the most in those Jump Fielding events with 23 points followed with 20 points during the 3 relays.
Sprints (19) points and (16) in those distance runs were next using Cayden Toons throwing, 10 points.
While CL’s Junior Varsity was pretty even scoring 17 points in the distance runs, 16 points in relays, and 14 points scored during those two hurdle events.
The Lake will be back on the cinders this Thursday when they travel to Davenport for the Wolf Relays with start time at 1:00pm.
