Landry Moore is hoping for More when District Meet comes calling

Canyon Lake will come back from Spring Break this week and this year’s track team for both the boys and girls has some potential to make some noise as those last weeks approach before District 26-4A Meet, April 6-7.

Last year, CL’s, dash events did not present a lot of opportunities for scoring. Joseph Ruiz had the best 100 meter dash coming in with a 11.58 time.

That result was the 11th best at the end of last year’s meets.

Taking a look at this season will give you an idea of how Canyon Lake has improved in this one event.

Bailey Drum scores 41 points in Bandera Meet

Canyon Lake Varsity finished 2nd in the Bandera Track Meet in both the Girls and Boys team.

It was a decent night but when the Hawks finish second then that will make it a longer ride home as this group of students are getting hungry for wins.

Haden Lee was the high point for the Hawks as this Senior scored in the Jumps, Dash, Relay, and Throwing events.

Lee needs to be fed at a cafeteria as he wants to fill his trey with several different types of food.

Hawks Fly Away from Competition in Bandera Relays

Canyon Lakes Boy’s and Girl’s Track team both racked up points in their wins in Bandera on Wednesday.

The Hawk boys more than doubled the competition showing just how deep this year’s JV has become.

CL’s lady Hawks beat the second place Heritage team by 101 points as they too, dominated their field.

This year’s Junior Varsity clubs are dominating and showing the Hawk Nation that these students will soon be bringing their act to the Varsity level soon.

           Go Hawks!!

The ReSporter: Tell me if the girls or you have realized yet that this is the first team win for any track event for the Lady Hawks, what are your thoughts on that accomplishment?

Coach Barthels: “I thought that this was the first time that the girls had won a track meet, but I knew for sure it was the first time that the boys and girls varsity teams had won together. Turns out it was both.”

The ReSporter: How close are you to getting to know what each girls strengths are?

Coach Barthels: “I know what their strengths are, we are just now starting to see them believe in themselves to show those strengths.”

The ReSporter: This is probably the most depth the Hawks have had as they scored in 13 of the 16 events, what has happened in order to get to this level? (more…)

                   Go Lady Hawks

Canyon Lake Ladies Track & Field accomplished a first when they won the Panther Relay in Navarro last Thursday.

The Hawk Junior Varsity finished with a 2nd place trophy as the depth CL is starting to come to fruition.

Bailey Drum had a great evening finishing with 44 points out of a possible 45. Not a bad percentage as she was joined by another Senior, Emma Gray who had a 2nd place finish in the 100 meter hurdles giving Canyon Lake 24 points in this event as Sydney Reibschaeger finished 3rd in the event.

Reibschaeger finished 3rd in the 300 meter hurdles with Drum’s 1st place and another 16 points in a strong Hawk race. That gave Canyon Lake 40 points in those two hurdle runs.

Canyon Lake dominated the Panther Relays in Navarro last Thursday as the Hawk Boys team finished

Hawks have Fly Over at Panther Relays

first in the Varsity and Junior Varsity divisions.

The Hawks had started their first 3 Track Meets in competition with larger schools and on this night, CL was running and throwing against schools in their same class or smaller.

This resulted in what the Hawk Nation was hoping for as Canyon Lake’s depth was too much as they ran away from their adversaries in winning both divisions.

Caimen McDonough came back to earth and scored 34 points which was down from his 42 point day last week in Dripping Springs.

McDonough had Trenton Lorett nipping at his heels with a 31 point day as those two athletes scored more points than 4 schools which if you added up those team’s points they would have totaled 67 points.

The ReSporter: What are your overall impressions as you have 3 Meets in the books?

Track and Field Coach Troy Moses

Coach Moses: “I can tell you that we have a bunch of young men that want to improve and they don’t mind working hard to get there. So far we have improved with each performance and that is exciting as we get closer to district.”

The ReSporter: How do you approach a Meet like you had in Dripping Springs when you were one of the smallest schools in attendance?
Coach Moses: “We tell the kids that Track is different than other sports. For us there is only one meet that really counts and that’s the District Meet, all other are just practice meets and we are just competing against ourselves to try to better our times each week. So when you go into a meet like that your really not concerned with what those around you are doing. With that said, I thought our kids preformed out standing against the BIGGER schools.”

The ReSporter: I know you look on how you can maximize your points is that a process that continues until the day of the District Meet? (more…)

            Go Hawks!!

The ReSporter has had fun posting times and distances from other District 26-4A teams for Track & Field these past few years.

So far, The ReSporter has results from all 7 schools with two of those institutions with results with just one meet. That would be Yoakum and La Vernia teams.

As you look at the forms below, you will see the name of the athlete then the school they represent and the date they had their result in the meet.

Another item to take note is that The ReSporter can only get results of athletes that finished 1st through 6th place. As many of the places to research will only have those events that have those times and distances recorded.

          Go Hawks!!

Canyon Lake went to Dripping Springs this past Saturday and once again showed promise as this group of athletes raised the bar with their competition.

Last week, the Hawks were matched with Dripping Springs, Hays, and San Marcos schools.

This week the field was larger and when that happens it becomes harder to get in position for scoring points.

What Coaches are looking for when in these situations is how well is that athlete doing in topping their personal bests and that was a win for the Hawks.

High Point for CL’s Girls Varsity was Bailey Drum for the second week in a row with 18.5 points while Emma Gray also reached double digits with 11 points.

Madison Blackburn and Adia Garcia both had 4 points for the Girls Junior Varsity team.
