Badger Land in Karnes City on August 24 is the first venue on the schedule for Natalia Head Coach Kendra Spangler and her band of Cross Country runners as they prep for the 2024 season.
Spangler is excited to get the season rolling in hopes of getting as many runners as possible to Corpus Christi for Regional in late October.
After Karnes City, Natalia hits the trails at Medina Valley August 31 followed by a short trip to Pearsall September 7.
A much longer trip awaits September 21 as they travel to Corpus for the Islander Splash as a possible regional preview.
The Mustangs and Lady Mustangs run their last regular season meet in Dilley September 28 prior to returning to Dilley for the District Meet October 9.
Best of luck to all Natalia runners in 2024!

Mustang baseball wins third straight on the road
A home run was hit by Keyshawn Haire, bringing in Jacques and Sonny and making the score 3-0, bottom of the 4th.
On Tuesday Keyshawn Haire was dialed in and pitched six innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits. He played a big game the last time he faced Crystal City, so the team probably should’ve seen him coming. As if that’s not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his sixth in a row with more than five strikeouts. This season, Haire has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 2.33 over 27 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.483/0.573/0.733 with 24 RBI.
Haire and Natalia headed out on the road to challenge Cotulla on Friday. Natalia got just the result they wanted…
