Track season begins for Tiger, Lady Tiger teams

Track season officially began when the two Dripping Springs High School track teams entered the Lake Travis Cavalier Invitational.

The format of this meet was a little different in that most of the track events were in the form of relays. This is so more participants can get entered to compete and give the coaches a better idea of how to place the players for the rest of the season. Both teams scored 49 points — which was good for fourth for the Lady Tigers and sixth for the Tigers. Gage Groce headed up the group with a gold medal in the 300 hurdles.
