Almost, but not quite. The Devine Warhorse track team was oh-so-close to either winning Area or forcing a tie, however the Cuero Gobblers came out on top by 8 points, 142 to 134. However, fifteen Warhorses will continue their season as they advance to Regional at the University of Texas A&M-Kingsville.
Two throwers are making the trip to Javelina Stadium. Junior Dakota Wofford finished second in discus (135’7”) while fellow junior Tristan Ortiz qualified in shot put (43’11”), also in second place. Coach Devin Rotramel, “I am proud of all our throwers, almost everyone set a new personal record at the meet.”
Junior sprinter Isaiah Oropeza commented, “I am very excited that I advanced to Regional. This is where all of the hard work starts to show.” Isaiah qualified in the 200m dash by running a 23.2.
