The Nocona High School girls’ cross country squad punched its ticket to the regional meet.
The Lady Indians compiled 76 points, which was good enough for third spot, and several others qualified for the regional meet – Bowie’s Kamryn Cantwell and Nocona boys Brayden Skinner and Dylan Parker – based on efforts at the District 3A-9 meet on Monday at Kiwanis Park in Wichita Falls.
Holliday Independent School District served as the meet host.
“This means a lot,” Nocona head girls cross country coach Brad McGann said. “The girls have put in a lot of work. They are excited. This was one of their goals.”
The top-3 teams and 10 individuals qualified for the University Interscholastic League regional meet set for Lynn Creek Park in Grand Prairie. The park is located on the northern edge of Joe Pool Lake.
“I am looking forward to seeing what Kamryn can do on the regional stage,” Bowie head girls’ cross country coach Colby David-Pastusek said. “Kamryn did an outstanding job, and ran her personal best by more than one minute.”
Miriam Diaz was Nocona’s top performer, clocking at 12 minutes, 15.14 seconds over two miles. Cantwell placed sixth, clocking in at 12:35.80. Read more in the mid-week edition of The Bowie News.

A positive culture can be tough to install but will reap dividends if done correctly.
Trinadee Imotichey is trying to do just that with her Forestburg Lady Longhorns.
Imotichey, an assistant coach on the 2025 Forestburg volleyball team, was moved into the head coaching position. Last year’s coach, Cori Hayes, took over as football head coach.
Imotichey, in her 2nd year in Forestburg, said she learned a lot from Hayes and is ready to take over.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.
The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.
Bowie pitcher Hazel Trahern gave up two singles and a groundout to put the Sissies on the board in the first. It would be the only hits she gave up in the game. Two groundouts and a strikeout got the Lady Rabbits out of the jam.
Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

Rest. Run. Repeat.
Sage Keck, an 8th grader at Montague, lives by this mantra. No ifs, ands and buts about it.
She’s been running since fourth grade PE classes where she would run a mile every week. After discovering she could outrun the other students, she began to enjoy it and continued doing it.
Her success continued, as she finished 2nd overall against more than 200 runners at the Old Saint Jo 5K July 4. In last weekend’s Texas Junior Olympics, she reached the pinnacle of her career so far by qualifying for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics in Norwalk, Calif. in three events.
