Turkey Trot has 57 people run
The first Bowie Turkey Trot 5K run/walk was a fun success on Saturday.
The first of what is planned to be a seasonal race series that raises money for God’s Table in Bowie had 57 people finish the race with age ranges as low as nine-years-old and as old as 70.
Isaac Renteria was the fastest runner overall with a time of 17:31 as the recent high school state cross country medalist from Gold-Burg proved he still had it several weeks after the fact.
Cameron Belcher was the fastest female overall with a time of 21:00.
Both were high school athletes who also won the 25-and-under divisions as well.
In the 26-to-35 age division Hannah Hilton was first among females with a time of 26:24. In the male division, Levi Gibbs finished first with a time of 25:12.
The 36-to-45 age range had winners Chelsey Henry in the female division and Joey Smith win the male division. Smith’s time was 22:16 while Henry’s time was 27:26.
The 46-and-over female division had the most entrants of any division with more than 20 runners. Angela Bingham finished first with a time of 31:27.
The first place finisher in the 46-and-over male division was Scott Meador who finished with a time of 36:02.
Times and places for all runners by age division are in the mid-week edition of the 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.
