The Bowie High School boys’ and girls’ track and field teams had an outstanding performances during the Conference 3A Area meet Thursday at Jacksboro.
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.

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 8^th 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 2^nd 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.
