  7. Pirates' Dooley looks to finish up strong Van Wade The Orange Leader AUSTIN — Joe Dooley probably could have set up a hotel room in Austin last year. After all, the Deweyville senior made it to the Class 2A State Track & Field Championships the last two years. Well, make it three straight. Dooley, who has dominated the Southeast Texas track scene in the Class 2A distance races for quite some time now, will compete in both the 800 meters and the 1,600 meters this evening at the UIL State Track Meet. “One thing for sure, I’m got going to be nervous at all,†said Dooley. “The crowd is always huge, I saw that as a sophomore. I’ve matured a lot since then. I’m a graduated senior now, so this year it’s really going to be fun.†Dooley has turned in Southeast Texas leading times in both the 800 (1:59.16) and the 1,600 (4:33.72) this season. At regionals, he won the 800 in 2:00.6 and was second in the 1,600 at 4:39.00. As a junior, Dooley brought home a bronze medal in the 800 with a career-best time of 1:57.62. As a sophomore Dooley was sixth at state in the 1,600, running a 4:35.76. “My goal all year was to get to state again,†said Dooley. “To do it three years in a row is special but to do it in two events as a senior is great.†Dooley will run the 800 tonight at 6:30 p.m. and the 1,600 at 8:55 p.m. Dooley is facing one major obstacle, major soreness in his right knee. “My biggest concern going in will be my conditioning,†said Dooley. “My knee has been giving me problems and I rested a couple weeks and just started to run a little bit this week. I’m really focusing hard in the 800 meters, trying to get around that 1:57 or 1:56 mark. The 1,600 is going to be tough, just because of where my conditioning is at. Missing nearly two weeks of workouts is going to make that race tough.†Dooley eagerly awaits the challenges Austin brings. “I’m just going to go out there and go for a medal,†Dooley said. “My confidence level is pretty high. Anything can happen at the state track meet. I’ll be able to feel all the adrenaline early and then go out and give it all that I have.â€
  8. Mustangs look to tame the 3A heat in Austin Van Wade The Orange Leader AUSTIN — In the sweltering Austin heat, it’s going to be all about being “fast and furious†for the West Orange-Stark track team come Saturday. In a span of one hour, 35 minutes, the Mustangs will know where they stand in the Class 3A State Track & Field Championships. It will kick off for WO-S with the girls running the 400-meter relay at noon and will close with the boys running the 800-meter relay at 1:35 p.m. There will be four other events sandwiched between those two races. “We’ve already talked to some folks in Austin and they’re saying that down on the track the temperature will likely be between 110 and 115 degrees,†said WO-S head track coach Toby Foreman. “We’ve got several kids running two races and Trey Franks will be running three in about an hour and a half. We’re going to have to keep the kids hydrated well and have them heading back to those shaded tent areas as soon as each race is over.†The girls 400-meter relay quartet consisting of Brittany Brantley, Hannah Mobley, Johnesha Sims and Danyale Thomas will start things off at noon. That same foursome will come back to run the 800-meter relay at 1:25 p.m. The four were second behind Waco Connally in both the 400 relay (49.19) and the 800 relay (1:43.68) at regionals. “I really think our girls have a great shot at medaling,†said Foreman. “If they stay right there with Connally again, they’ll be in good shape. You have to watch out for Liberty-Eylau though, those kids can fly.†On the boys’ side, the Mustangs have turned in the fastest times in Class 3A this year in both the 400 and 800-meter relays. Franks, Josh Gloston, Phillip Jones and James Haynes won the regional meet in the 400 relay in 41.78 and the quartet of Gloston, Franks, Haynes and Ed Ivory won the 800 relay in 1:27.08. The 400 relay will run at 12:10 p.m. and the 800 relay at 1:35 p.m. “There’s going to be two excellent races there,†said Foreman. “Waco La Vega will really push us like they did at regionals. You also can’t count out Cuero and Dallas Madison. There regionals times, you can’t let that fool you. Both have had tremendous success at state over the years.†Jones will compete in the 110-hurdles at 12:55 p.m. after placing second at regionals with a 14.76. Franks will try to earn the tag of “Fastest Man in Class 3A†in the 100 meters at 1:15 p.m. Franks won at regionals with a 10.73 and has turned in a 10.38 this year. Haynes also qualified in the long jump after finished second at regionals with a 22-7 3/4 effort. He will jump today at 1:30 p.m. The Mustangs have had three weeks to prepare for state with the regional meet being held way back on May 15-16. “It’s been crazy, having nearly seven weeks between district and state,†said Foreman. “The kids are certainly ready to run and compete. The first week after regionals, we worked them hard. Last week, we mainly worked on execution, doing a little speed work and working in the grass and staying injury-free.†The Mustangs are sending 11 tracksters to Austin, the beauty of it - only one, Josh Gloston, is a senior. “Isn’t that amazing,†said Foreman. “Hopefully we can bring home a couple medals for Josh, who has meant so much to all of us for four years now. The future at West Orange-Stark looks promising.â€
