Starting today, this blog will also be a track and field blog.
On Saturday, the Cypress Woods Wildcats participated in their first track meet of the season, the Ram Tough Relays at Cypress Ridge High School. A few Wildcat football players have taken to the track in order to better prepare themselves for the upcoming season, and here is a quick recap with a few notable results.
Angel Laca, a senior wide receiver, won the 200-meter dash with a time of 22.42 seconds. He also ran the first leg of the 4x400-meter relay; the Cats wound up finishing third overall behind Beaumont Central and Langham Creek. Derrick Brooks ran in Angel's heat in the 200 and posted a respectable time of 22.99 seconds.
Matt Mori, a junior defensive lineman, ran the 800 and finished with a time of 2:10 despite a strong start. Though he wasn't pleased with his results, he has been running well in practice, so he should improve upon that time as the season progresses. He might be a candidate to run the 400, as well.
On the girls' side, Jordan Perry, a freshman, won her heat in the 100m and finished sixth in the final. Not a bad result for your first high school track meet. Kennedy Bailey did what she usually does, sweeping the 100m and 300m hurdles.
Cy Woods track and field will return to action at the Will Taylor Relays at Memorial High School on February 18.
