On Friday, March 6, the Wildcats and Lady Cats traveled to Borger to compete in their second track meet of the season. The weather was warm and sunny for the majority of the day, and the wind only picked up later in the afternoon. Both teams were at full strength, although, the boys who finished up their basketball season on March 3 were confined to field events.

Nine members of Canadian’s tennis team played at a tournament in Spearman on Monday, March 2 and Wednesday, March 4, and they dominated the competition. In mixeddoubles, Hayze Hufstedler and Audrey Abraham won each game by a wide margin and played their teammates Stephen Pulliam and Emma Waters for the championship, sweeping the tournament.

The Lady Cats were back in Childress on Monday, but they struggled to find their footing this time against the Bobcats. Six runs from Childress early on in the game were too much for the Lady Cats to overcome, and they lost 11-0. The Bobcats were able to score on a triple, a single, and two errors in the first inning Although they struggled against Childress’s offense, the Lady Cats did have a momentum-changing play when Vivianna Salas hit a double in the second inning. Salas led the Lady Cats in hits, finding her mark on two of three at bats. Pitcher Jessica Stiner only allowed nine hits and struck out three batters. The Bobcats had no errors in the field. In a twogame series, Canadian’s Lady Cat Varsity and the Gruver Greyhounds will play back-to-back games-the first, at home in Canadian on Tuesday, March 17 at 1:30 pm, and the second one at Gruver on Wednesday, March 18, starting at 2 pm.
