Graduate Mariah Ellis made her mark in more than just one event

The ReSporter: What aspect of this year’s team do you think will be the strongest and why?
Coach Barthels: “I think we will be strong in the hurdles and the relays this year.”

The ReSporter: What about the Field Events?

Coach Barthels: “We have some returning throwers that should get us some points this year and a few Freshman and first year track girls that may help us in the throwing department. Bailey Drum will compete and has a shot at making it to regionals if not state this year in the triple jump. Emma Gray, when basketball season is over should help us in high jump and long/triple jump. Skylar Hurst came on and made it to the area meet in triple jump last year so expectations are that she will also improve this year. Addison Farley has been working on the high jump and long jump and is doing quite well for a first time track athlete as a senior, I am excited to see what she and the others that are new to track can do for our team.”

The ReSporter: Tell us about the Hurdles?

Coach Barthels: “Bailey Drum and Sydney Reibschlaeger should be very competitive this year in both the 100 and 300M hurdles. I only have two other hurdlers so I am working on converting some of the sprinters.”

The ReSporter: Give us your Short Distance (Dash) athletes.

Coach Barthels: “Alysha Perez and Skylar Hurst will compete after good seasons in both the 100 and 200 M Dash. We had some great runners last year with a young JV team and depending on times they may compete this year as Varsity runners or will continue to strive on the JV team. Kaylie Duke, Ashley Shipman, Jasmine Ramos…”

The ReSporter: Can you share anything bout the Long Distance runners? (more…)

Micah St. John looks to help Canyon Lake clear some hurdles.

The ReSporter was able to catch up with Boys Track & Field Head Coach Troy Moses to talk about this upcoming season and expectations.

The ReSporter: What are your overall thoughts on this year’s team?

Coach Moses: “We were very young last year, so I feel this could be a banner year.   If we can stay healthy and develop some points in the field events.”

The ReSporter: You have had an influx of some good looking athletes in these past couple of years what are your aspirations on this group this season?

Coach Moses: “The sky is the limit for this group.   Our goal is to win the District Championship.”

The ReSporter: Your Hurdle students looked very good as the season closed last year. How will you maximize that group and what are your thoughts on Brandon Courtney as he will try to repeat an Austin visit?

Coach Moses: “Our hurdlers are the strength of the team.  We have several young men that have proven to be very competitive.  Courtney had a great sophomore year, I think he has the ability to make it back to Austin in 3 events!!” (more…)

                             Hawks Celebrate in one of their 33 Victories this season.

The Fall Season of 2015 had an historic moment as the CL Volleyball team pulled off a District Championship which was the first for the Hawk Nation.

If you were looking at teams for Canyon Lake and projecting the first team to get to that feat, then Volleyball would have been near the bottom as the Hawk District has been controlled by Wimberley and seeing a team upend their streak of District Championships would have been a hard sell.

Yes, Wimberley did not have a vintage year but CL’s Volleyball team would also reach the highest State Ranking for any sport when they topped out at No. 7 during this season.

Brandon Courtney taking a break during workouts

Then there was 1 athlete still working hard on his skill set as Brandon Courtney qualified for the State 4A Track Meet in Austin this weekend.

Courtney had a PR (Personal Best) finishing second in the Region Track Meet last weekend as this Sophomore continues to whittle down his CL best time for the 300 Meter Hurdles.

Courtney’s time of 39.56 is now right at 3 seconds better than Karl Tucker’s 42.23 that he ran Region Meet back in 2010.

Jordan Anderson beating the field in Wimberley during his Sophomore season

All-Hawk Track Team

This will be fun as each athlete can only be entered in 5 events just like Coach Troy Moses and Coach John Barthels would need to do in entering his players before a meet.

There are also just three entrants for each event. On the girls side, The ReSporter, needed to take certain girls off an event since some of their runs would put them over that 5 event limit.

Mariah Ellis comes to mind as she is in the top three, counting Relays, six times and so there are some events The Resporter went to the next best time. Caitlyn Collins was another athlete that was in the top three multiple times.
