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.

“We were encouraged with the way the relays performed,” Head Coach Levi Montgomery said. “(Daniel) Camarillo did a good job filling in for (Zach) Henshaw, and overall we feel that we are in a position to be successful in all three relays at district.” (more…)
