Eldorado was represented by 11 athletes at the Regional Track Meet held Monday and Tuesday at South Plains College in Levelland. While none of them advanced to the State Track Meet, they competed well and represented Eldorado well at the Regional level. Brianda Torres and Wes Brown each claimed a 3rd place medal in the 100 Meter Dash. So did the boys 4 x 200 Meter Relay team of Garrett Lux, Rudy Sanchez, Ryan Castillo and Wes Brown.
The Lady Eagles claimed the Bi-District Softball Championship in Crane on Saturday, May 1st, by defeating Van Horn 17-5.
The game was slated to begin at 11am but a scheduling error on the part of the Midland Softball Officials Association caused a two hour delay. The Eldorado girls didn’t seem to be bothered, however, as they scored in the top of the 1st inning when Miranda Arispe came home on an Amy Alvizo single.
But the Green Team seemed sluggish in the field and committed three fielding errors that would allow Van Horn to score a pair of runs and take a 2-1 lead after an inning of play.
John Espinosa threw 44-05 to win Shot Put at the Area Track Meet held last Thursday in Wink. Anthony Mata placed 4th with a throw of 42-08. The Eagles 800 Meter Relay team consisting of Garrett Lux, Ryan Castillo, Rudy Sanchez and Wes Brown turned in a time of 1:34.09 to place 2nd.The same four Eagle runners placed 3rd in the 400 Meter Relay with a time of 44:88. Van Horn’s team was a second faster to win the event while Forsan was 2nd at 44.18. Wes Brown placed 3rd in the 100 Meter Dash with a time of 11.31. Eloy Bustos was 5th in High Jump at 5-2.
The district-leading Eldorado Eagles baseball team will close out its regular season of play with a pair of games. The team will travel to Menard on Friday where they will face the Yellowjackets with the game slated to begin at 4:30 p.m.
Then, at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, the Eagles nine will host the Mason Punchers in what could very well be the district title game.
The Warbirds currently hold a half-game lead over the Punchers in District 29-1A and are looking for back-to-back wins to propel them into the State playoffs.
