Bowie boy’s win at last week’s Era track meet
The Bowie track teams competed at Era last week to get ready for this week’s district meet.
The boy’s team came back with a first place win while the girl’s team finished in sixth place.
The Jackrabbits had Tucker Jones finish first in the long jump, 110 meter and 300 meter hurdles. Case Curry also won the pole vault.
The team also had many second place finishes with Braden Rhyne being runner-up in the 300 meter hurdles and high jump. Tyler Richey finished second to Curry in the pole vault. Sebastian Martinez placed second in the 800 meter race. Jorge De Leon finished second in the discus. The 4×400 meter relay team closed out the day and got the win for the team by also finishing in second place.
The Lady Rabbits highest finish was their third place in the 4×400 relay. The other two relays, the 4×100 and 4×200 meter, both finished in fourth place.
Individually the highest finish went to Callie Curry and Olivia Richey, who finished fourth in the 100 meter and 300 meter hurdle races.
Both teams compete at the district track meet this week. The final day, which will involve only the running finals, is scheduled for 5 p.m. on April 3 at Iowa Park.
Results for varsity athletes who finished sixth or better are listed 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.
