For the Bowie High School boys’ and girls’ track and field teams, it was a simple matter of quality over quantity.
The Bowie boys’ small contingent generated 114 points during the Possum Kingdom Relays on Saturday in Graham, and the Rabbits topped the Steers’ JV unit by 12 points to win Division I.
Sprinter Jesse Vaughn and dual hurdler/jumper Zeke Vaughan scored a heap of points to lift Bowie.
“Jesse has the leading 200-meter dash time in our area,” Bowie head boys’ track and field coach Daylon West said. “Zeke continues to improve ion the hurdles; he’s a top-notch competitor and he also won the triple jump.”
On the girls’ side, four athletes piled on 106 points to finish second behind Vernon at the Henrietta Relays this past Thursday.
Brittney Pound was the gold standard in three events at Henrietta.
“Brittney came away with five gold medals for us,” Bowie head girls’ track and field coach Colby Davis-Pastusek said.
Davis-Pastusek said it was impressive for Bowie to score as many points and win as many medals as it did with such few athletes.

Possum Kingdom Relays
Bowie started off the finals portion of the competition on Saturday earning second place in the 400-meter relay, racing in with a time of 46.93 seconds, which was five-tenths behind Abilene Wylie.

Bowie girls second at Bearcat Relays
Bowie’s success began in the sprints at the Henrietta Bearcat Relays as Petie Wolsey won the 100-meter dash in 13.09 and Brittney Pound claimed gold in the 200 (27.49). Read more in the mid-week Bowie News.

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.
