Jessica Cunningham will be celebrating her birthday this coming Friday the 13th in Austin, as she attempts to acquire the ultimate gift at the State Track Meet.
This will be Cunningham’s second trip to Austin, the first trip she was a Sophomore at Smithson Valley and her eighth place finish was a great skin to have on the wall, but the Senior for Canyon Lake now has a higher goal. (more…)
The Girls and Boys track team are preparing for the Regions that will be run the first of May. The following numbers will give you an idea of where the Team was two years ago and where they are now.
The Hawks keep getting closer to the bell cow of the District 26-3A, Fredericksburg. Canyon Lake is now in its second year of having Seniors and the numbers keep improving. (more…)
ReSporter: “What is your overall impression of the District 26-3A Track Meet?
Coach Adkisson: “The girls did great from the Junior Varsity level to the Varsity. They went out there and competed and ran there best times of the year. We might not of scored a lot of points but we placed well in several events.”
ReSporter: “The Mile Relay keeps improving, tell us about this group of girls.” (more…)
ReSporter: “Give us your overall opinion of the District 26-3A meet just finished?
Coach Montgomery: “We are very happy for our kids. To score 150 points and sweep the relays is a good feeling. Our boys pride themselves on their work ethic, and it showed last night. We always tell them that if you just work hard with a lot of enthusiasm that the results will come. It was a great night for our entire athletic program, because our kids play multiple sports. That’s one of the many positives of being a student at Canyon Lake. The kids are not tied to one single sport. For many of our boys, track may be the third or fourth sport they compete in. When you have a high-quality showing at the district meet like we did, it really proves what a solid overall athletic program we have here at Canyon Lake High School.” (more…)
Coaches Corner: Track Coach Levi Montgomery
ReSporter: “How is the team looking going into this week’s District 26-3A Meet? Mentally? And Physically?”
Coach Montgomery: “Our boys are ready. They have worked really hard since we started practicing in February, and at this point are simply anxious to compete at district. Physically we are healthy as a team, and we expect to run the best we have all season over in Wimberley.”
ReSporter: “How many athletes are you looking to be able to go to regional?” (more…)
The ReSporter has taken some results from previous track meets among the District 26-3A teams and based on the distances and times put a point total for each team. We then compared last year’s District meet against the best times for this years group. (more…)
Resporter: Jordan Anderson is one of the fastest short distance runners in District, did you run Anderson in the 4×100 relay in Dripping Springs?
Coach Montgomery: “Yes, he ran the anchor leg and we finished 2nd overall.”
ReSporter: I saw that Dakota Repa came in and scored points for you in the Dripping meet and he has not run yet this year.
Coach Montgomery: “(Dakota) Repa is finally getting into track shape after coming over from soccer. He will has a legitimate chance of making the top three in the 300 hurdles.” (more…)
This past Saturday at Canyon Lake High School the interact club held their relay for life benefiting Polio.
Keegan Collins headed up the endeavor as the interact club were up bright and early for the 5K and fun run. Whether you were running or walking they had something for everyone.
“Last November we came up with this idea and we have been ‘running’ with it ever since,” Organizer Collins said. “We started at about seven this morning putting it all together.” (more…)
The Hawk Track team finished third in the Wimberley Track field last Thursday, March 24th, scoring 97 points.
The teams placing first and second were 4A schools, Dripping Springs and Lehman.
The Hawks not only fault the teams but the wind was brutal. The relays and athletes still came through.
