Brody Armstrong and Travis Terry finished 17th and 18th to round out the top five runners for Bowie. Coach Jonathon Horton was happy with his team. With a great finish while battling heat and tough terrain, he feels confident where his team is with district on the horizon.
The Lady Rabbits ran at Lynn Creek Park in Grand Prairie next to Joe Pool Lake. With many of the metroplexes top programs running, Bowie competed in the 4A and under race along with 16 other schools.

Kylie Rose finished fifth overall with a time of 14:18. Madilyn Ferguson joined her among the top 10 in ninth place. Claudia Espinoza finished 18th and Natalie Pirkey was 55th.

Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.
