District begins today for boys’ and girls’ track

Boys and girls track will be in district meet competition today and tomorrow at Flower Mound High School.

At last week’s meet on April 4, both teams were successful.

“Girls got second place for JV and varsity,” coach Rory Durham said. “And the varsity boys won and JV boys got second place.”

The way to achieve a competitive time for district is “having a game plan and [a] combination of training throughout the year,” Durham said.

Because the chance to advance to regionals and state is going to depend on how they perform in the next two days, it doesn’t really matter what they have done up to this point.

Track has been “lucky” with the weather and only had to cancel part of one meet because of lightning, Durham said. He added that the teams have mostly suffered only slight injuries this year.
