Dripping Springs' golfer, William Mangione, earned the right to play at the state golf tournament. He was the first DS golfer to make that trip since 2022 and he made the most of his time there. This year the tournament was moved to the White Bluff Resort course in Whitney, Texas. His first day he shot a 74 that left him five strokes out of the medalist lead. On the second he shot a 70, the best score of any golfer. However, his two-day total of 144 left him in a five-way tie for third. The tie-breaker rule left him without a medal. No doubt William's finish was the highest ever attained by a Tiger. The toughness of the district was the fact that Westlake won State and Lake Travis third.
The Regional Track meet did not end well for the Dripping Springs entrants. No one got to advance to state besides Izzy Crew in the wheelchair division. In the boys division, Major Bettridge finished eleventh in shot put with a toss of 49'9.5. His teammate, Thiago Valles placed 12th in the Long Jump with a leap of 19'8.25. In the girls division Morgan Riley placed 7th in the 800 with a time of 2.23.03. Adeline Spies, in the pole vault, watched her chances disappear when she failed to clear the opening height. Izzy Crew won all three of her events: Shot Put: 18'11; 100: 19.36; 400: 1.06.83.
