The Bowie High School girls’ cross country team defended the Pelham Park course for the first time ever at the Rabbit Run on Wednesday.
And the Lady Rabbits were six points better than second-place Bridgeport thanks to Lady Rabbits finishing in a pack from fourth through eighth.
Valerie Walker provided Bowie with its best time in 14 minutes, 18.3 seconds with Carli Shields next in fifth (14:18.5), Sarah Lacy sixth (14:19.1), Sage Bullock seventh (14:25.1) and Emmy Thomas eighth (14:25.5) over the 3,200-meter course.
Bowie scored 25 points, and Bridgeport 31.
Several other Bowie girls finished among the top-20 and received medals in Lauren Gill, Brysen Richey and Madison Chandler.
Bowie head girls’ cross country coach Chuck Hall said Bridgeport provided stiff competition. Bridgeport was a late entrant into the meet, and Sissie Melanie Guzman was the overall winner in 13:19.6.
“Carli keeps improving her time,” Hall said. “Emmy and Sage ran really well for us, too. Sarah, we need her to run with us more. She gives us good depth.” Read more, including see complete team scores, in the Oct. 1 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 2nd 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 8th 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 2nd 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.
