Both the Jackrabbits and Lady Rabbits produced fourth-place finishes as a team, and two Nocona High School athletes moved on as well with Miriam Diaz in the 3,200-meter run and Flor Gomez in the pole vault.
“I was really excited to see Miriam compete the way she did,” Nocona head coach Michael Keith said. “She was driven by a desire to succeed in the meet. Flor took advantage of an opportunity, and performed the best she had all year.”
On the girls’ side, seniors Petie Wolsey and Selina Alvarado will be joined by upstarts Addy Cook and Kamryn Cantwell.
Qualifiers will now compete at the Conference 3A Region 2 meet slated for Whitehouse on May 1-2. Whitehouse is a suburb of Tyler.
“I am very proud of our four Lady Rabbits that qualified for the regional,” Bowie head coach Colby Davis-Pastusek. “Our sprint relay and 800-meter relay both ran the fastest times we have all season.”
Davis-Pastusek was pleased to see Cantwell set a personal-best record in the 400-meter dash, smashing the 1-minute mark with a scorching time of 59.93 second to win the event. Cook also excelled.
“Addy gained us eight points with a second-place finish in the triple jump,” the coach commented.
