BrooksNDone Posted 3 hours ago Report Posted 3 hours ago [email protected] Tom Halliburton’s Track Volume 38, Number 7 April means elimination time for most area track and field athletes because only the best of the best advance to the regional and state meets on the warm weekends of May. While there are some events on this week’s schedule, the primary focus of these athletes – wherever they are – needs to be on next week’s district championships and maintaining sharp physical shape and proper rest for those events. A district meet is becoming more and more of a tuneup in its own right because the top four finishers in an event are permitted to advance to the following week’s area meet. Our list of Golden Triangle-area leaders experienced a large amount of change following last week’s extremely busy agenda. Silsbee did more than host a meet. The Lady Tigers took over the leader’s spots in the girls 4x1 and 4x2 exchanges. One of those relay members, Madison Hill, captured the top performance to date in the triple jump by practically reaching 37 feet. Before leaving the Silsbee meet, we need to send a big thank you to Cayla Ford for assisting me on Monday with providing the results. I regret that I had to miss last week’s good area meets due to a groin injury which required quite a bit of treatment as well as an ultrasound on Thursday. That should not sideline my presence at numerous district meets but beware that potential rain episodes often alter those district championship schedules. Before we visit last week’s individual stuff, let’s recognize LC-M’s girls and Nederland’s boys for capturing team titles at Silsbee. Fourteen new area-best numbers – 11 girls events and three boys – were recorded at the Tiger Relays. Senior Dinah Tippins of LC-M equaled the previous best in the girls 100 meters with a 12.08. Her teammates Janet Le and Paisley Angelle owned sole possession of the lead in the pole vault and the 300-meter hurdles with their Silsbee outings. The boys and girls leaders in the shot put throw improved their previous area best lengths. That’s good work by Lumberton’s Madagyn Boudoin and PN-G’s Ace Reeves. Memorial’s Titan Relays contained plenty of sturdy competition for nearby schools from outside visitors around Houston. The discus throw produced two near area best numbers. Congratulations to Port Arthur’s Tatiyana Crain and West Brook’s Joseph Bowser. Titans senior Matthew Christian duplicated the area’s fastest open-quarter time in 48.93, while sophomore sprinter Jalexis Neal clocked a 24.43 in the girls 200 meters.
