The Tiger Relays: a Dripping Springs staple

The Tiger Relays have been a staple in Dripping Springs High School sports history.

The first track came with the new high school campus in 1985, which is now Dripping Springs Middle School. It was a cinder track and later became an all-weather track. The high school swapped campuses around 2015, and a nice track facility was part of it. For most of those years, Dripping Springs has held track meets with strong competition. 2023 was no different as this year’s Tiger Relays had 15 schools in four divisions with more than 1,000 athletes competing in each event.
