Hays Invitational

August 26, Buda

Thanks to Larry Mathys for this report.

Despite losing their top three to graduation, Lockhart appears ready to be a force this year as well with an easy win in the boys division. The key: first five finishers within 18 seconds. Austin Westlake took the girls division with Hays nipping Cedar Park for second.
