Lady Leps Win District Track Team Title
Smithville Edges La Grange Boys by One Point in Team Standings
The La Grange girls surged to the District 20-4A team track title Tuesday in Giddings, while the La Grange boys fell one point short of continuing a halfdecade of team district dominance.
The Lady Leps amassed 207 total points. Giddings was second with 184. The La Grange girls won eight different events and advanced athletes in all but one event to next week’s area meet in Lake Belton.
“It’s a culmination of a lot of hard work. They poured a lot into this year and it’s nice to see them reap the rewards today,” said La Grange head girls track coach Leslie Coltrain.
The most dramatic moment of the girls meet was saved for last when La Grange senior Hailey Bass, who has been battling injuries, somehow surged from behind to edge Smithville at the line on the final leg of the 4x400 relay by 15 hundreths of a second.
“She showed the heart of a senior right there,” Coltrain said.
The boys team race was a nail-biter with only two points separating the top three teams.
Smithville won the team title with 153 points, La Grange was second with 152, and Giddings was third with 151. The Leps did win all three relays.
“It’s a tough pill to swallow,” La Grange boys track coach Eric Amick said. “We were going for our fifth district title in a row, and that was the goal. The kids ran their tails off. Lot of PRs (personal records), but we just fell a little short in a few areas.”
But there are plenty of goals still ahead for the Leps in the upcoming area, regional and state meets.
