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.

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 2^nd 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 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.
