After competing in the regional track meet at Heroes Stadium in San Antonio, Dripping Springs will be sending two individuals to the State meet held in Austin on May 13. Ava Williamson placed second in the high jump with a leap of 5'6, tying a 20- year old school record. Brant Melton remained undefeated in the 800 to punch his ticket. Only the top two places advance and DS had three others to barely miss out with thirds.
The Texas Association of Soccer Coaches announced their regional awards that included All-State. Showing the strength and reputation of the Dripping Springs programs, both squads had an abundance of honors. The Tigers and Lady Tigers each had four individuals named. Coming up soon will be more honors as the Sportswriters All-State teams will be selected as well as the Austin American-Statesman paper will name their All-Centex teams.
The Dripping Springs mixed doubles tennis team of Whitney Robbins and Lexian Andrushko took their talents all the way to state. In the quarterfinal round they met up with Rachana Hari and Vincent Rivas of Katy Jordan. The 6-0, 6-1 victory advanced them
The final week of the regular season copied their whole season. Putting it all together and then struggling with phases of their game. Of course, much has to do with the opponent but the Tigers do have to own their problems. They entered the week not having to worry about making the playoffs but the seed does matter. Going into the final game with Kerrville they were the second seed. A loss and a Johnson win would drop them to third. There is usually a steeper hill to climb playing a second seed than a third. Things would go their way at Seguin with two big scoring innings invoking the tenrun rule after five with the 15-0 score. However, the Antlers made it personal with a 2-1 triumph.
