The Bowie and Nocona High School track and field teams began their quest toward a trip to the University of Texas in Austin with the District 3A-9 meet on Monday.
For the Bowie girls, Addy Cook was a bright spot, and Brittney Pound returned to help the Lady Rabbits in relays and sprints, in the meet at Jacksboro High School.
“Addy had an outstanding day for the first day of district competition,” Bowie head girls’ track and field coach Colby Davis-Pastusek said. “She set personal records in both the high jump and triple jump, and earned 18 points toward the team totals. I am looking forward to seeing what she can accomplish with two more weeks of work.”
The top-four finishers from these events will move onto the area meet, also scheduled for Jacksboro later this month.
Nocona’s Miriam Diaz qualified in the 3,200-meter run, clocking in at 13 minutes, 0.75 seconds. Diaz was the lone area qualifier.
Cook garnered the high jump with a leap of 5-feet, 2-inches, two inches clear of Paradise’s Hunter Rogers. Cook also was second in the triple jump at 35-8 as part of this sensational performance. She also tried her legs at the 200 dash later in the meet.
Madeline Page is moving on to the area meet after taking second in the shot put, marking at 36-8¼. Kolbi Klein from Nocona advanced by taking third in discus at 90-7, while Aubrey Gill of Bowie narrowly missed out taking fifth (86-1½). Read more in the mid-week Bowie News.

Forestburg’s volleyball team gave visiting Chico a solid test Sept. 8, but the Lady Dragons rebounded from a third-set loss to pull out the 3-1 win (25-23, 25-19, 25-27, 25-19).

The Lady Longhorns got out to a quick start with aces from freshmen Madi Wadsworth and Lacie Shotwell staking the squad to a 4-1 lead in game one. Wadsworth later broke a 4-all tie with a kill.

Addy Conway rolled off four straight points, helped by a Wadsworth kill to give Forestburg an 11-9 lead. Chico took a 16-14 lead but a Brenna Briles ace and Jocelyn Rich’s two points forced Chico into a timeout down 17-19.

The respite worked as it would be Forestburg’s last lead of game one, the Lady ‘Horns not having another serving point.
