Track

Track season is here! The boys are doing both track and powerlifting for a short time due to making it to a regionals in powerlifting so they are busy. Troy is doing the long jump and maybe a sprint or relay depending on how his hamstring feels. Teague is doing the 800m and 400m and/or the 4x4 relay.













District: Troy got 1st in long jump. Teague got 4th is the 800m and 2nd in the 4x4 relay so they both will advance to Area!





The boys competed so well in Area…personal records in everything!! Troy jumped 23’4”, Teague ran a 2:08 800m and the 4x4 came in at 3:27!! It was such a fun night celebrating all their hard work! Now on to Regionals!! 


























Regionals was another roller coaster of emotions. Troy did not jump his best, but on his last jump he ended up taking 1st place!! We were ecstatic!! What a fun morning! The rest of the team made it to Palestine around lunch and ran the 4x4 that night and made it to finals. The next day they ran finals and just didn’t run their best and ended up 7th place. It was a bit disheartening, but what a fun experience for them! Now, on to State for Troy! 




















State was held in Austin and Cole and Troy had the Royal treatment! They left school Thursday morning to a send off and spent the day checking into their hotel and watching other track events compete and eating great food. Friday morning Troy competed at 9am. He had a large cheering section and it was so exciting to have so many people there to celebrate with when he won 1st place! It was his best series of jumps all year. I’m so thankful for the coaching and the support and just the way Troy worked so hard to accomplish this goal. He deserves every bit of today and I hope he soaks it all in!
