Perryton, TX

The Tigers traveled to Perryton, TX for the annual Wolf Creek Classic and came away with several great individual performances as well as a first place finish in the JH boys division.  The course is a very challenging course with one gradual hill all the runners run at least once, varsity boys run up the hill twice. 

The first race of the day featured the JH girls 2 mile.  Again the Lady Tigers were paced by Kaylum Labrue and Jahaira Marquez as they placed 35^th and 36^th.  We were able to place 5 runners in the top 50. Cai Barias, Isabella Flores, and Adriana Gonzalez rounded out the top 5, as they came in at 41, 45, and 49^th place respectively.  This race featured 134 runners.   The Lady Tigers placed 7^th out of 14 teams in the race with a team average time of 16:42.

The JH boy’s race consisted of 93 runners.  The boys ran a great race and came away meet champions, compiling a total of 69 team points to beat 9 other teams.  We placed 5 runners in the top 25.  Cory Nunez continued his dominating ways as he won the meet by 25 seconds, running a 12:05.  Levi Bowers was close behind in 7^th place, as well as Baily Homan, Gustavo Rios, and Dylan Beasley coming in at 17^th, 23^rd and 25^th. 

The Varsity girl’s race had 138 runners and Stefanie Almeida and Kaitlynn Maddox were the only two girls to run for the Lady Tigers in that race.  Stefanie ran the 2^nd fastest time of her career (14:02) and placed 15^th. Kaitlynn ran a great time as well (15:29) placing in the middle of the pack.  There was no team score for the Lady Tigers as we only had two runners competing. 

The Varsity boy’s race featured 85 runners.  Josh Pierce led the way for the Tigers earning a medal in 14^th place (18:05) and Nick Ramos was two places out from medaling in 22^nd (18:35).  Josh and Nick have been having a great season so far and are already running faster than they ran at the state meet last year, so they are on the right track.  The next 3 finishers for the Tigers were; Fabian Martinez (20:25), Ignacio Gamboa (20:55), and Juan Mendoza (21:33).  The boy’s team placed ahead of five other teams for a 6^th place finish.  The team average was a 19:55.  At this point we are 20 seconds slower than we were last year as a team heading out of this meet so we’ve got some catching up to do next week.
