Senior’s Kelsey Ahrens and Lizzy Henderson taking in their last time as Hawk Softball players
Canyon Lake finished another year with a winning record but just short in district play as front runner La Vernia rushed out to a lead and held on, 9-5 on Senior night at the Hawk Diamond.
For Senior Night, both Lizzy Henderson and Kelsey Ahrens were honored as they finished their career in sports for Canyon Lake.
Ahrens took that honor one step further as she deposited a home run over the left field fence that also gave her the all time rbi stat finishing with 76 rbi’s on this night.
The Hawks had as many errors as hits, and those errors will give a team like La Vernia all they need to keep a lead and winning.
CL did have 5 unanswered runs during the 4th and 5th innings, to claw back to within 2 runs of the Bears before the Hawks ran out of innings and games on this beautiful night under the stars.

Track Season is in their phase of Playoffs, as the Hawk Boy’s and Girl’s Team will take the stage in the Area Track Meet featuring District 25-4A and 26-4A schools on Thursday.
The Hilltop ReSporter had an opportunity to talk to several of the students that will be competing and will share their thoughts going into this meet that will give them a chance to showcase their skills in Kingsville for the Region Meet.
Austin Camacho will be running 800 Meters for a chance to reach Regions
The ReSporter caught up with Austin Camacho first.
The ReSporter: Hey Austin, what are you trying to hit time wise on your first lap?
Austin Camacho: “You’ve got to think smart when running and I will have three coaches giving me times while I am running, but I would like to finishing the first lap with a 60 or 61 seconds, but the coaches are giving me times at the 100 and 200 marks and I like having a pace and time at those places.”

The ReSporter: What are your overall impressions for this group of athletes?
Track and Field Coach Troy Moses
Coach Moses: “Right now they are enthusiastic and working hard to improve. That has made it fun to coach.”
The ReSporter: You have to feel emboldened when you look at how young your team is and how stacked of an incoming group of young man enter into next year’s season.
Coach Moses: “We have a very good young group of athletes. There are good jumpers and runners and hurdlers, and that has the potential to be a very good track team in the upcoming years. But, at this point it’s only POTENTIAL!!!
The ReSporter: What does it take for a student to be able to realize their goal and get to a Region Meet? Read the rest here »
Hawk Crawfish Boil Support Canyon Lake Track & Field
The ReSporter: Tell me how you see the future for this Girls team….I see a lot of good things coming from this group of ladies.
Coach Barthels: “We are a young team, we are only graduating a couple of seniors. 2 of the 3 relay teams consisted of 3 freshmen and a sophomore with pretty good JV times in those same events. We had a group of girls that worked hard in practice and competed on meet days with almost everyone improving on their times at each meet. At district we finished 2nd as a JV team with only 11 girls. Varsity girls set records in the 4X100, and the Long Jump. I see the future looking bright with a few girls already asking if they can run track this year. Obviously the more girls we can have come to track the better we can be.

Micah St. John and the Hawks dominate in the Hurdles
Canyon Lake Boy’s Track Team will have six students taking their craft to the Area Meet on April 23rd at home.
The Boy’s Varsity finished 4th overall as the future will certainly be on the upswing as the Junior Varsity finished on top in this year’s District 26-4A Track Meet.
Brandon Courtney will represent CL in three events as he continues to shine in both hurdle runs while also helping the 4×400 Meter Relay team to a 3rd place finish with a time that has only been topped one time for the Hawks back during the 2012 team.
Henshaw, Camarillo, Hubnik and Covarrubias has the record when they finished with a 3:26.55 that season.
Courtney’s 300 Meter Hurdle run was the first ever to break the 40 second barrier and with a little more adrenaline, this Hawk could have a chance of doing well at Regions.
Austin Camacho won the 800 Meter Run and in so doing broke his previous Hawk record and will now concentrate on breaking that elusive two minute barrier which could also have a high finish in the Area Meet this Saturday.
Freshman and Sophomores make up this year’s Mile Relay squad and breaking the 3:30 mark will hopefully have good results as this relay team hopes to continue their climb to lower time barriers.

Senior Mariah Ellis and five other Hawks are heading to Area Meet this week.
Canyon Lake will be a fun place to hang out these next few years on the cinders as the Girls and Boys Junior Varsity finished 2nd and 1st respectfully in this year’s District 26-4A Track Meet.
Rain has been a constant during this track season and the district was no different as schedules were changed throughout this meet in order to finish before weather took control.
There was an hour delay but all the events were completed as the Hawks finished with 381 combined points counting both JV and Varsity teams.
Sophomore Kaylie Duke turned in a glowing day of work finishing with 28 points and scoring in four events for the Lady Hawk JV team.
Duke won the 100 Meter Dash and then ran legs in the 4×100 and 4×200 first place relay teams. She also added a second place finish for the long jump.
Felicity Neistemski was responsible for 21 Hawk points as she won the 800 Meter Run and finished second in the 400 Meter Dash. That 400 Meter finish was three seconds better than previous meets for Neistemski while that 800 run was four seconds lower than previous competitions this season.

Track & Field | Comments Off on Hawk’s Girls Track Place 6 for Area Meet, While JV Finish 2nd in District 26-4A
Hawks were presented a rainbow during their game and in Wimberley
Canyon Lake’s Softball Team stays alive for the weekend as the Cuero game was postponed until this coming Monday due to weather.
Meanwhile in Wimberley, the Hawks, held on with a one run game as the contest was almost lost in that final inning with the winning run at the plate when Center Fielder Carly Dubois caught that final out, 8-7.
CL had an 8-1 lead going into the bottom of the sixth inning as the Texans responded with 6 unanswered runs as Hawk fans were working on getting appointments with their local Nail Salon.
“We fought through some adversary with the weather and were focused up until that fifth inning,” Head Coach John Gallagher said while biting his nails. “We had been working on laying off the high pitches but we had some trouble swinging at those pitches.”
