District 26-5A track meet results
Weather has presented uncomfortable playing conditions for most of the spring sports. For the District track meet held at New Braunfels Canyon, it was mostly windy days although other threatening weather did not materialize. As expected Boerne Champion could not be brought down while DS was doing their best to hang in there and give them a race. As has been the case for years, a weak showing in the field events just puts the Tigers too far behind to overcome the total points. BC won both varsity divisions and the JVG division while the Tigers trailed for second place and the Lady Tigers were fourth. Both Lady Tigers 1600 runners broke the previous school record and Brant Melton sparked the boys with gold efforts in the 800, 1600 and 3200 races and the 800 relay took the other gold with a near school record.
The top four places in each event will move on to the Area meet with District 25-5A, also held at Canyon on April 20. The first four places in area will move on to Regional.
