The Bandera Lady Bulldogs continued to make school history at the District 27-4A track meet last week, setting a handful of school records and continuing to add to personal records while qualifying several athletes for the area meet.
Junior Kinlee Lawlis broke the school record in the 100m dash prelims with a time of 12.19 and then secured the gold medal in the finals with a time of 12.26. The 4x200m relay team, comprised of Gabby Barrera, Jayla Blake, Sydney Moore and Lawlis also set a school record with a first-place finish and a time of 1:42.49.
Freshman Sydney Moore qualified for area with a third-place finish in the 100 hurdles and posted a personal best time in prelims at 15.61. Merry Robinson was fourth in the 400m run and advanced to area with a PR of 59.76, and Lawlis advanced to regionals in the 200m as well with a first-place finish and a time of 25.11.
Jayla Blake set a PR in the 200m dash with a time of 26.45 and placed 5th, and Jazlyn Dickerson set a PR in the 300m hurdles and placed 6th with a time of 49.00.
In field events, Layney Bowman matched her personal best in the high jump while placing 5th at 5-2 while Sydney Moore shattered her personal best and cleared 5-0 to place 6th. Lawlis qualified for area in the long jump by placing 3rd with a jump of 16-8.25.
As a team, the Lady Bulldogs placed sixth with 68 total points. Those who advanced to the area meet will compete at New Braunfels Canyon on Wednesday with a chance to qualify for the Class 4A Region IV meet on the line.
“Our district for track is like all of the other sports – one of the best, if not the best,” Bandera Girls Track Coach Brooke Ashcraft said. “Our girls showed up and raised some eyebrows. We had so many personal bests and season bests that I lost count, and again more records were broken. I’m proud of the hard work and time that was put in.
“Over half the team is involved in various other activities, which says a lot about them as individuals, their character, and the sacrifices they have made. I am an extremely proud coach.”
