The Texas Girls Coaches Association has recognized Bowie’s Lily Gill and Petie Wolsey for their excellence in the classroom.
Both Gill and Wolsey were named to the TGCA academic all-state team in Conference 3A girls’ track and field.
Wolsey was a noted sprinter for Bowie this year, advancing to the finals in the 100-yard dash at the regional meet in Whitehouse. Gill qualified for the regional meet in the 1,600-meter relay.
Wolsey will attend Angelo State in San Angelo on a softball scholarship next season. Gill will attend the University of North Texas in Denton.
Athletes must be seniors in academic standing, have a grade-point average of at least 94 or above and be a team member in good standing.
Athletes are nominated by their coaches, in this case coach Colby Davis-Pastusek.
Slidell middle distance runner Caitlin Pruett and pole vaulter Kayson Roof was also picked for the all-academic team in Conference 1A and Windthorst’s Haven Canada and Brooke Schreiber in Conference 2A.
