Both Bowie and Nocona cross country teams got a preview of the district course running at Holliday on Friday.
While both teams were there, Bowie and Nocona ran in separate heats and were not directly competing with each other.
The Jackrabbit team won their heat as the top five runners all finished among the top nine. Sid Mayfield finished first for Bowie in fourth place with a time of 18:35. Nathan Rogers, Ignacio Saucedo, Alex Castro and Andrew Sandoff finished sixth through ninth.
Coach Andy Atkins was thrilled with how his team ran overall, but singled out Rodgers and Saucedo for taking more risks in the meet.
“They took a couple more chances and Nathan Rodgers and Ignacio Saucedo led the race for a while which was great for them to see how long they could hold that pace,” Atkins said. “Boys are running with a lot of confidence right now.”
The Lady Rabbits finished second in their heat. Samantha Clarke finished first for Bowie in fourth place with a time of 13:52. Kaydee Jones joined her on the medal stand finishing 11th. Other teammates Hannah Craddock finished 18th, Madison Hartin 20th and Naomi Enriquez 33rd.
Coach Joe Crabb praised Clarke and Jones for not only getting on the medal stand, but running personal best times this season despite the chilly morning.
The Lady Indians were missing three runners, but still finished third overall in their heat. Kylie Rose led the team finishing fourth with a time of 12:25. Raylee Sparkman joined her with a medal in 11th place, Jayce Rose finished 17th, Cobi Womack finished 25th and Natalie Pirkey finished 29th.
Coach Kyle Spitzer thought his team ran well overall, but knows the team was hurting with three runners missing. He is looking forward to what his team will look like this week with the district race a week away.
The Nocona Indians finished fifth in their heat as Hank Ulbig led the team finishing 15th with a time of 19:02. The other top five runners for Nocona saw Alex Stephens finishing 21st, Arturo Garcia finish 24th, Miguel Oliveras finishing 28th and Andrew Johnson finishing 38th.
All teams are next scheduled to run at Nocona’s hosted meet at Indian Oaks golf course on Oct. 21, the final regular meet before the district meet a week later.

The Bowie boys golf team competed at the Diamondback National Golf Course in Abilene for a big tournament on Monday.
Coach Matthew Miller did not report what place the team got, but indicated the tournament was both big and deep of players and schools from bigger schools than the team usually competes with.
The team’s total was not its best, but it was not far off what it has been shooting, but for this tournament that was not enough to finish as high as it usually does.
Cy Egenbacher led the team shooting 80. Zac Harris was one shot behind shooting 87. Rayder Mann and Andrew Sandhoff rounded off the team’s scoring shooting 87 and 89 for a 337 total.
Hunter Fluitt shot 106 for the team, but it did not count towards it.
Hunter Lea competed as an individual and ended up shooting 85.
Miller thought his players had trouble stringing good holes together.
The bump in the competition has hopefully prepared the team for the district tournament next week. The Bowie Lady Rabbits team spent time at the district course this week instead of competing in a tournament.
It is scheduled for a two-day tournament on March 29-30 at River Creek Golf Course in Burkburnett.

The Bowie track teams went to two different meets this week with the boys going to Jacksboro and the girls competing at City View.
The Bowie boy’s team finished fourth overall while the Lady Rabbits team standing was not shared.
The Jackrabbits changed meets to Wednesday to allow any powerlifting boys the chance to compete since five were going to the state meet and it would have conflicted with Thursday’s original meet at City View.
Bowie came away with two first place finishes.
For the Lady Rabbits competing at City View, Neely Price and Amylee Valdez had the best individual finishes.

Bowie Jackrabbits’ baseball takes district win against Vernon in final two innings

The Bowie Jackrabbit baseball team came on in the fifth and sixth innings to steal the win from Vernon at home on Tuesday night.
The Jackrabbits scored six runs in their final two innings to pull ahead 7-5 against the Lions.
Bowie came into the game following a disappointing loss to Iowa Park the previous week which meant it was at 1-1 in district play so far. Vernon came into the game with two losses against Jacksboro and Holliday, the Lions had only lost to the reigning district champ Eagles 2-1 with Cross Durham on the mound.
Vernon started him on Tuesday and Bowie answered with freshman Edmond DeLeon, who despite his age has been the best pitcher this season for the Jackrabbits.
DeLeon got off to a rough start in the opening inning. The Lions loaded the bases after a single and two walks with one out. Next batter hit a double to left field that scored two runs to put Vernon up 2-0.
DeLeon had runners at third and second, but struck out the next batter and induced an infield pop out to shortstop for out three to limit the damage.
