Northwest ISD athletics is home to plenty of stellar athletes and incredible programs. One of the programs truly soaring this season is the Byron Nelson Bobcats girls' track team. On the quest to bring home gold medals at the end of the season, the Lady Bobcats have remained focused each meet.
Led by some of the top performers in the area, Byron Nelson track has been continuing its excellence all season. Most recently, the Lady Bobcats finished as area champions in the 6A Area Track Meet. The team saw incredible individual performances from the likes of Bryce Brazzell (who posted a 24.40 PR in the 200m), Jess Reyes (who posted a 57.76 PR in the 400m and a 2:12.66 PR in the 800m), Vimed Diba (who posted a 58.09 PR in the 400m), and Mirna Rosado (who posted a 16.31 PR in the 100m Hurdles - 33"). In team performances, Byron Nelson shined with performances from the 4x100 Relay team made up of Julia Schoenewald, B. Brazzell, Kylee Ortiz, and Jessica Makayabo with a 47.22 finish. Diba, Ortiz, Schoenewald, and Lily McDowell led the charge in the 4x200 Relay with a 1:39.96 finish. Diba, Ortiz, Schoenewald and Reyes also took charge in the 4x400 Relay with a 3:58.10 finish.
Field events have also been working hard at Byron Nelson this season as Schoenewald posted a 17'6 PR in long jump at the area meet.
Be sure you keep an eye on the Lady Bobcats as they continue to work their way to the UIL Class 6A Track Meet later this season!
