Disappointing Track Meet for Canyon Lake as scratches and being DQ on the Relays were so dominant you needed a big eraser in order to take all those potential points that literally flew out the window.

There was some good news at this year’s event but so much bad happened you had to wonder if the Mayans were off a few months with their predictions of the world ending.

Three different Relays were DQ, two for the Boy’s and one that involved the Girl’s Track Team.

How about some good news:
Marisa Ellis came through with two first place finishes as she will try to add to Field Events to her State Track resume.

Ellis topped the 37 foot mark and also topped that High Jump bar with a 5’4 jump, which was two inches more than she had for this season.

Jordan Anderson also will be going to his third Region Tournament in Kingsville when he soared to a 6’2 inch High Jump. Anderson has a best of 6’6 at the Hawk Relays and tried for a personal best (6’7) after being the last Jumper standing.

All three of these marks are among the top in 3A meets that have been compiled up to this point.

The ReSporter will have some more research this weekend to give a better idea of where these two athletes stand as well as CL’s other qualifiers in this Region as well as in Texas.

The 1600 Meter Run was also a present surprise as Mike Russell has now broken his own record by another 6 seconds when he coasted across the finish line right in front of Senior Chris Neiland.

Canyon Lake had never had a runner break that 5 minute barrier and in this Meet had two on that same run.

That bodes well for future years as well as the JV Girls Team, who continued to impress with another good Meet.

Kaelin Simmons will have two chances at Regions when she will have an opportunity to compete in the Shot Put and Discus.

Canyon Lake will be hosting District 27-3A Track and Field this Wednesday and Friday and The

ReSporter will break down each school and event to help in letting fans know what are some don’t miss competition.

This will be a three part series and this is our Third part for the Boys. Today we will go over Long Distance and Hurdle events.

Once again the only points Canyon Lake can muster in this group of events is 2 points and just like in the Girls Track, the Boy’s points come from Alex Martinez who runs on the Junior Varsity squad.

Since Martinez also frequents the 4×400 Meter Relay on the JV, then that reduces any chance of scoring points in these events.

However, CL could pull off some surprises if the tea leaves are doing more than just making tea.

Boerne has the long distance horses as well as Bandera this year. Both of these teams have taken more points away from Fredericksburg than for Canyon Lake.

The Hawks however might not score and that would make points that could be pulled away from the Billies will make that a hard feat to overcome.

 Long Distance Runs and Hurdles
 1. Boerne            45
 2. Bandera           37
 3. Fredericksburg    35
 4. Navarro           30
 5. Wimberley          6
 6. Canyon Lake        2

Canyon Lake will be hosting District 27-3A Track and Field this Wednesday and Friday and The

ReSporter will break down each school and event to help in letting fans know what are some don’t miss competition.

This will be a three part series and this is our Third part for the Ladies. Today we will go over Long Distance and Hurdle events.

Canyon Lake is not known for their distance and hurdle races at the Varsity level. In fact that one point you see below was run by Sydney Reibschlager who is presently competing for the Hawks JV squad.

So, in assessing CL’s chances of scoring points with these events would not be something you could count on.

Navarro is a front runner for District 27-3A teams with a 46 point total this season and Bandera and Fredericksburg is bunched up with a 37 and 36 point total respectfully.

Wimberley’s points are coming from one young lady but when you add up the other two sets of track events, then those points become very important as teams try to amass enough to put them at the top.

Fredericksburg is a team with more depth and that always helps when you are trying to put distance between you and your competitors and the Billies have and will score consistently in each event each year to keep them head and shoulders above other district schools.

Any points Canyon Lake could pull out of these events would be a huge surprise, but that is why they put on those cleats.

 Long Distance Runs and Hurdles
 1. Navarro            46
 2. Bandera            37
 3. Fredericksburg     36
 4. Wimberley          20
 5. Boerne              4
 6. Canyon Lake         1

This will be a three part series and this is our second part for the Ladies. Today we will go over the Dash Runs and Relays.

The Hawks will have some athletes that have a decent chance of advancing to Regions and especially with the 4×400 Meter Relay where they pulled off one of the best times in this area a couple of weeks ago at the Hawk Relays.

So you know there is speed and now the young ladies will be trying their best with the help of fans coming out to encourage and cheer them on.

Fredericksburg is a team with more depth and that always helps when you are trying to put distance between you and your competitors.

Wimberley also has a pretty strong team in these venues.

The Hawks are presently ranked in Fourth Place if these events were held by just putting best times on paper.

Short Distance (Relays, 100 Meter Dash, 200 Meter Dash, 400 Meter Dash)
 1. Fredericksburg     81
 2. Wimberley          64
 3. Navarro            48
 4. Canyon Lake        44
 5. Boerne             31
 6. Bandera            18

Canyon Lake will be hosting District 27-3A Track and Field this Wednesday and Thursday and The

ReSporter will break down each school and event to help in letting fans know what are some don’t miss competition.

This is the second of a three part series and we will look at the Relays and Dash in this segment.

The Hawks will have some impressive matches and how this Track Team performs will be based on how Jordan Anderson will be used.

This is why they pay Head Track Coach Cody Means the big bucks as he will be in his office late figuring how to run his relays based on each athlete only having three running events that can be performed.

Short Distance (Relays, 100 Meter Dash, 200 Meter Dash, 400 Meter Dash)
 1. Canyon Lake       78
 2. Fredericksburg    74
 3. Navarro           45
 4. Wimberley         35
 4. Boerne            35

Jordan Anderson will be readying himself for his final District Track Meet this week and this young man has a lot of skins on the wall as one of the best Track Athletes Canyon Lake has had through the last three years.

Anderson has been getting a head up on his District 27-3A opponents for three years now and you know their will be a lot of underclassman that will be glad they will not have to compete against this type of trickster after this season.

Having a heads up also means a hair cut so you can reduce that head wind and have those faster times in those Dash Runs.

Here are results from Anderson’s last three years including his Freshman campaign on Junior Varsity. Notice how many points he has garnered.

Also note that on the relays you divide that event by four teammates, so if your relay finished first those 20 points would equal 5 points for each individual runner.

                      Junior              Sophomore           Freshman
 4x100 Relay                                                  CL 1st   5pts.
 4x200 Relay                                                  CL 2nd   4pts.
 4x400 Relay                                                  CL 2nd   4pts.
 High Jump            First   10 pts.     Second   8 pts.     First   10 pts.
 Long Jump            Second   8 pts.     Third    6 pts.     Second   8 pts.
 100 M Dash           First   10 pts.     First   10 pts.

 400 M Dash           First   10 pts.
                              48 pts.             34 pts.             31 pts.

District 27-3A has now been updated after last week’s track meet results.

The ReSporter had to wait a little longer since some athletes were competing at the Texas Relays.

One such student was Marisa Ellis competing in the Triple Jump. Ellis still had a better jump at the Hawk Relays and presently still has first place for district.

These events are the most comprehensive as all meets were recorded giving The ReSporter a chance to update to a closer idea of how the District 27-3A Track Meet might end up if held this week.

Most of the Schools has some minor meets this week as Canyon Lake will be going back to Blanco for a Tri-Meet this Thursday.

Canyon Lake will be hosting district again this season and that will be starting off a week from Wednesday.

If you study these times and want to have a good idea of how to see what might happen in a meet, then their are a couple of items you might want to look for as The ReSporter has been compiling these type news for three years.

**That date after the team is important as it indicates when that result was achieved. So, if you see that a long jumper had their best jump in February then it could mean that student might have peaked already, injuries, sickness, and you might see their name in other events and that was one that did not take priority.

So results that are more recent will tend to carry more wait.

**Many of these students have been entered into several events over the past few weeks as Coaches are searching for where their team might get more points for meets.

Canyon Lake lowered their 1600 Meter Relay by nine seconds at the Hawk Relays last week

and with that time now have the best results in District 27-3A.

Not only the best time this year among fellow District Schools, but also their time of 4:10.53 was a new standard for future CL 1600 Relay teams.

The good news is that the Hawks have at least two more weeks to see how low they can go to set an all time standard.

Mariah Ellis, Hannah Graves, Brookelynn Helmke, and Amber Ramsey were in control of this relay from the beginning to end.

This is a good nucleus of students which has a lot of potential as this season now gets into a much more serious stage.
Ellis a Sophomore
Graves a Junior
Helmke a Junior
Ramsey a Junior
