Bowie track advances four to regionals
The Bowie track teams competed at the area meet on Thursday at Jacksboro to see which athletes would go on through to the regional meet if they finished in the top four of their event.
In the end there are four athletes making the trip to Abilene on April 28-29 for the chance to go to the state meet in Austin.
Tucker Jones is returning to regionals in the 110 meter hurdles. He finished third despite clipping a hurdle midway through the race that caused him to miss out on possibly finishing first since he was in the lead at that point in the race.
Jones made it to the regional final last year in the same event.
With him missing out on qualifying in the 300 meter hurdles (fifth) and the long jump (seventh) he will have plenty of time to focus in on the one event and motivation to do better than he did at the area meet since he was noticeably disappointed.
Laisha Johnson finished third in the 400 meter race to qualify for regionals.
The senior also was part of the 4×100 and 4×400 relay teams that both finished eighth so she will have her sole focus on the 400 meters.
The other two qualifiers came earlier in the day during field events.
Senior Neely Price had to skip out on the second day of the regional golf tournament to compete. It paid off as Price finished fourth in the high jump to qualify.
The final qualifier was junior Case Curry who finished fourth in the pole vault by jumping 11 feet, 6 inches.
While some other athletes are not advancing, they did finish sixth or better scoring points toward their team totals.
Brady Rhyne finished sixth in the 300 meter hurdles, Harlei Hudson finished sixth in the 100 meters and Tyler Malone finished sixth in the 800 meters.

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.
