AUSTIN — Lauren Landry’s surprising second-place fin-ish in the Class 4A 800 meters Friday got the Lubbock ISD onto the medal stand at the UIL state track and field meet.

Then a good day for the LISD turned into a productive week-end On Saturday, Coronado se-nior Tre Culver got third in the Class 5A high jump and Estacado senior Sahari Freeman took sec-ond in the Class 3A 400 meters.

“I gave it all I had, and I thank God that I am here and got a good place,” said Culver, who matched his personal record by clearing 6 feet, 9 inches.

Two weeks ago, going 6-9 net-ted Culver only third place in the Region I-5A meet at Texas

Will Smith was starting to feel up-set and downcast as the three-day NFL draft wound toward a conclu-sion Saturday.

The Texas Tech linebacker didn’t know he was about to receive the phone call of his dreams. The Dallas Cowboys chose Smith in the seventh round and, even growing up in California, the Cow-boys were his favorite team.

“All I had was Emmitt Smith jer-seys, Roy Williams jerseys, the Trip-lets (Smith, Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin) posters,” Smith said.

AUSTIN — Dustin Strelsky can’t remember two weeks of his life.

After a car accident that stretched the Rockdale sophomore’s spine and paralyzed him from the waist down, there was about 12 hours when he was not even supposed to survive.

He had six operations, including two rods placed in his neck and two more in his back.

He had to relearn daily tasks. And yet, he found a way. Pushing as hard as his arms would

let him — his frail legs draped un-derneath his three-wheeled blue chair — he won a gold medal.

Despite the accident that took his ability to walk in the sixth grade, Strelsky became a champion at the

UIL state track and field Champi-onships on Saturday at Mike A. My-ers Stadium.

His spirit defined the meet. But, Strelsky wasn’t alone.The UIL approved disabled ath-

letes to compete in the state track meet early this year in three events: 100-meter dash, 400-meter dash and shot put.

More than ever before, athletics

— especially at the high school lev-el — has become about overcoming the odds.

Athletes from across the state pushed back against adversity this week.

They overcame. Amarillo River Road junior Emilee

Hilbish was born with spina bifida. She won a bronze medal. Grant McLain attends to a school,

Channing, without a track. He won two gold medals. Charlotte Brown is blind.She took fourth place in the pole

vault with the aid of a beeper to let her know when to jump.

QB Giles commits to Tech for 2015 class

Sugar Land Elkins athlete Jonathan giles has been a long-time follower of Texas Tech football and after getting a scholarship offer to play for the Red Raiders on Thursday, it didn’t take long for him to make a decision. On Saturday the 84 overall three star became the Red Raiders seventh commit for the 2015 recruiting class.

“I’ve watched them a lot growing up and over time I just fell more and more in love with it,” giles said. “I used to watch them even back when (Kliff) Kingsbury played there, then when (Michael) Crabtree came along. It’s been my dream school for awhile.”

giles plays quarterback for Elkins, where he threw for more than 3,000 yards and 25 touchdowns — completing 62 percent of his passes — and rushed for 1,149 yards and 19 more scores in 2013.

“I feel like they’re building something special over there and I want to be a part of it,” giles said. “Something very special.”

The Red Raiders beat out Missouri, Maryland, Colorado, Fresno State, Houston, Indiana, North Texas and SMU for the 5-foot-11, 174-pounder, who will get looked at as a receiver for the scarlet and black.

“They love how I make plays on the field,” giles said. “I cre-ate plays with the ball, they said they like the stuff I do with the ball. They said they like what I bring to the table and that I can be a leader on and off the field.”

The newest commit is already familiar with one of his future teammates.

“I know the running back from port arthur, Corey Dauphine,” giles said. “He told me that I’m the truth and he knows be-cause he’s played against me.”

Smith gets dream call from Dallas

Athletes show spirit, overcome the odds

Editor’s note: This is part one of a two-part series ana-lyzing the turnaround of the Texas Tech baseball program in the second year under head coach Tim Tadlock. Monday’s second part will look at how it affects Tech both financially and in re-cruiting.

Getting Texas Tech head baseball coach Tim Tad-lock to look down the road or examine the big picture is kind of like getting a tur-tle to pick up the pace. It’s not going to happen.

Why should it? His team has taken hold of his con-stant message of winning the day, getting better that day, whether it’s a game or a practice, and playing the game the right way, and it’s worked so far. In fact, it’s worked much better than most outside the Red Raid-er program expected.

At 37-13 overall and 11-10 in the Big 12, Tadlock has already established the watermark for the big-gest single-season turn-around in league history by a Big 12 coach from year one to year two. Tech’s 37 wins are already 11 more than all of last season with three regular-season games, at least two Big 12 tournament contests and likely a couple of games in an NCAA regional still remaining.

“I thought we would be a consistent team,” Tad-lock said as the Red Raid-ers began final exams this week. “Looking back through, the season could be a lot better but it could be a lot worse. It’s always that way. We’ve taken some games we needed to take, but also you can look back and go, ‘Man, if we’d have gotten that one, or gotten that one, think where we’d be now?’ Fortunately we’re in a pretty good spot.”

Making the leapTech is in that spot with

many of the same players who struggled for the ma-jority of the 2014 season. But most of those players were freshmen and sopho-mores who now are taking solid efforts from the sum-mer and fall and finding the same level of success in the spring. Combined with the contributions of

Anton relay team earns silver in state comebackAUSTIN — Anton High

School had one shot to do something memorable at the UIL state track and field meet this year. And with a cluster of Anton folks sitting in Mike A. My-ers Stadium — 400 miles from home — the Lady Bulldogs’ 800-meter relay team didn’t want to disap-point them.

Amparo Flores, Alani Juarez, Mariah Jimenez and Layna Clardy made their supporters’ long drive worth it. The Anton relay team earned a silver medal Saturday afternoon in the Class 1A Division II meet, running a time of 1

minute, 50.49 seconds.Flores, Juarez and Jime-

nez were on the team that finished seventh at state last year.

“We were kind of crushed, because every-body would like to get a medal,” Jimenez said. “So we were really focusing this year to be able to get on the stage.”

Juarez added, “We were wanting to come in and prove ourselves from last year and show we can do a lot better than what we did.”

This year, they were the only athletes from Anton who qualified.

Flores and Juarez are sophomores, Jimenez is a junior and Clardy is a

senior. Cross Plains beat them, running a 1A Di-vision II record time of 1:49.71.

“It’s a pretty great expe-rience to come back and be on the medal stand, so we feel pretty good about it,” Flores said.

Not to mention, all the people who drove from Anton to Austin wound up with something to show for it.

“We had quite a bit of turnout with a seven-hour drive,” Flores said. “So I was pretty ecstatic about how many people were able to arrive to watch us. And we only made it in one event, so it was quite a turnout for this small group of girls.”

Medals ease Seminole senior’s past wounds

AUSTIN — Trevor Greenfield has scars on his left knee and scars on his right arm. Now, in a happy ending to his cin-derella story, he has med-als to diminish the memo-ry from each.

The Seminole hurdler, who suffered serious sea-son-ending injuries his freshman and junior years, medaled in two events Sat-urday afternoon at the UIL state track and field meet.

The 6-foot-1, 165-pound senior finished third in the Class 3A 110-meter hurdles in a wind-aided personal record time of 14.30 sec-onds and got second in the 300-meter hurdles in 38.94.

“I almost fell — twice — so I’m kind of surprised I ran a 38,” Greenfield said after stepping down from the awards stand at Mike A. Myers Stadium.

Then again, Greenfield’s spent the last three years mastering how to over-come adversity. He suf-fered a displaced tibial plateau fracture doing a jump stop his freshman

year in basketball. That in-jury required two surger-ies, kept him in a brace for eight months and out of the hurdles for the next two springs.

Last year as a junior, he tripped over a hurdle at the District 2-3A meet and, when he went sprawl-ing, suffered a dislocated elbow and a broken right arm in two places.

So Greenfield didn’t picture himself posting national top-50 times this year and ending his career with two state-meet med-

als.“It was a dream come

true to make the medal stand,” he said. “I’m super excited.”

Greenfield managed that even without running a clean race. He said he “didn’t feel as quick, as powerful” in the 110s, but fought hard to get third. Later in the day, the 300 hurdles was more of a challenge.

He sailed through the first four in one of his best starts of the season, but went too high over the

fifth hurdle, stumbled, and wound up hitting the sev-enth hard.

He held on for second, albeit well short of his per-sonal best 38.34.

Gilmer junior Nick Smith ran 38.34 for the gold medal. In the 110s, Argyle senior Reese Thompson (14.12) and Caldwell senior J.J. Jack-son (14.29) finished ahead of Greenfield. They were running with a 4.3-meters-per-second tailwind.

After what he’s been through, Greenfield said just making state was its own reward.

“Regionals was probably the most nerve-wracking, just trying to get here,” he said. “And once you get here, I decided to enjoy it, whatever happens. If I didn’t medal, I still would have enjoyed the experi-ence.”

Maybe now the worst is behind him. Greenfield said he’s received recruit-ing interest from four or five schools and likely will run at West Texas A&M or Tarleton State.

“It doesn’t stop here,” he said. “I love it too much.”

key freshmen and new-comers, it’s made a world of difference.

The games where Tech needed to get a key hit, or make a key pitch that eluded it in 2013 have been much more infrequent in 2014. The Red Raiders are finding a way to get the clutch hit, for the most part, and have a wealth of talented arms who have been successful in almost every situation this sea-son.

In all three phases of the game, the Red Raiders are improved in almost every statistical category, wheth-er it’s hitting, pitching or fielding. The only area Tech has not improved is in stolen bases, but with the makeup of the team, Tad-lock knew the Red Raiders weren’t going to be swiping many bags anyway.

The Red Raiders ranked second in the Big 12 through Tuesday’s games in hitting with a .292 team batting average, which is 38 points higher than this time last season. Tech’s ERA of 3.37 is 1.37 runs lower than 2013, and the fielding per-centage of .981 ranks fourth in the nation, as does its 56 double plays turned.

“We liked our team last year,” Tadlock said. “The ball just didn’t bounce our way and we weren’t as deep on the mound as we needed to be. But I liked our team’s competitiveness and spirit, all those things.

“We’re trying to get better every day. I would say that we don’t ever plan on not playing in the postseason, that’s for sure. There are pieces in there that, anytime we line up or you put it on paper, we feel we can win if we play good baseball.”

Individual improvement

Several players have im-proved dramatically since last season. Sophomore first baseman Eric Gutier-rez (.251 avg. in 2013) leads

Tech in batting average (.325) and leads the Big 12 in home runs (12), RBIs (54), total bases (114) and slugging percentage (.588).

Junior shortstop Tim Proudfoot, despite missing a month with a shoulder in-jury, has increased his av-erage by almost 100 points (.216 in 2013 to .314 in 214). Sophomore outfielder Ty-ler Neslony played in just 20 games last year, hitting .227, and this year is hitting .396 with four home runs and 28 RBIs despite also missing about a month with a broken bone in his hand.

Then there’s the new-comers. Senior transfer Adam Kirsch is second behind Gutierrez in home runs (7) and RBIs (43) while hitting .297 and ranking in the top 10 in the nation in doubles with 19. Freshman Stephen Smith, the former Frenship standout, has so-lidified the leadoff position over the second half of Big 12 play, hitting .313 with 11 doubles and his first home run of the season on Tues-day at Dallas Baptist.

As good as those num-bers are offensively, it may be on the mound where Tech has improved the most, and done so without a consistent weekend start-ing rotation.

Last year at this time, Tech had a dismal 4.74 ERA and only a few pitch-ers who had winning or

.500 records. As of Tues-day, the Red Raiders have just two pitchers who have sub-.500 records, Dominic Moreno (4-5, 2.78 ERA) and Ryan Moseley (1-2, 3.86), with two of Moreno’s wins coming in relief in the last three weeks.

While most teams would not have the level of suc-cess Tech had has with a starting rotation in flux, Tech has thrived thanks to its depth. Key relievers Jonny Drozd, Corey Taylor and Cameron Smith are a combined 16-3 with a 2.36 ERA. Junior left-hander Chris Sadberry (4-2, 3.34) has been the one constant in the rotation all year, and freshman left-hander Dylan Dusek (5-0, 2.63) has been a huge factor in Tech’s 12-3 record in midweek games.

“Some may think of it as unsettled, but I’d rather describe it as a willing-ness to try to get better and try some different things,” Tadlock said of the week-end rotation. “We have the big picture in mind about what we need to do to con-tinue to play deep into the season. It’s pretty easy to name three starters if you want to, anybody could. We definitely have some depth on the mound, there’s no doubt about it.”

Resiliency and focusMore than the physical

aspect of the game that has

made a difference this sea-son is that the mental part, to Tadlock, sets the team apart. It’s probably why it took 52 games into the sea-son to have a three-game losing streak.

“They’ve been good about not letting good or bad re-sults carry over to the next day,” Tadlock said.

Tadlock said the overall success of the season has not been surprising to him. Surprises to him come in the form of freshman An-thony Lyons getting five hits in Tuesday’s 18-3 vic-tory over Dallas Baptist, or senior Devon Conley racking up eight hits in three games in the sweep of Oklahoma, or watching freshman Ryan Long hold down the shortstop posi-tion while Proudfoot was recovering from his shoul-der injury and the Red Raiders continuing to be successful.

“All year we’ve had guys who have done a good job when they’ve gotten their opportunities,” Tadlock said.

Perhaps that, as much as anything, has been the key to the Red Raiders success, the fact that they haven’t had to lean on one or two players all season. Tadlock’s true team ap-proach has put life back into the Tech baseball pro-gram, and it could only be the beginning.

“I was cautiously opti-mistic that we would ex-perience the success that we’ve seen over the last number of months,” Tex-as Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt said. “Know-ing the type of leader Tim Tadlock is and knowing the caliber of program that he is building and is going to continue to build at Texas Tech, we’re seeing the initial results of that and we’re excited more than ever about the future of our program.”

Seminole’s Trevor Greenfield is greeted after winning a sil-ver medal in the Class 3A 300 meter hurdles during the UIL State Track Meet on Saturday in Austin.

The 6-foot-2, 231-pound Smith led Tech in tackles last season with 120 and was a first-team All-Big 12 honoree by the Associated Press. He was back home in Riverside, Calif., with his family for the draft.

Going to the Cowboys had to thrill not only Smith, but his father Wade Smith, too.

“Me and my dad have been Cowboys fans since I (was born),” Will Smith said. “That’s how he raised me. It was a dream come true for that to happen.”

Dallas had five picks in the seventh round and used all five on defensive players. Altogether, the Cowboys spent seven of nine selections to upgrade their defense.

Tech had two players drafted and three others agree to free-agent deals immediately after the draft. All-America tight end Jace Amaro went in the second round to the New York Jets on Friday night, the 49th overall pick.

Not drafted but agreeing to terms were defensive tackle Kerry Hyder with the Jets, linebacker Ter-rance Bullitt with the Bal-timore Ravens and wide receiver Eric Ward with the Tennessee Titans.

Smith played inside line-backer in the Red Raiders’ 3-4 defense last year, but said he expects to begin at outside linebacker with the Cowboys.

As thrilled as Smith was with the team that chose him, some of his Tech teammates were equally enthusiastic.

Hyder’s agreement with New York made it two Red Raiders to the Jets in two days.

“It’s the greatest feeling,” Hyder said. “Of course, it’s disappointing when you don’t get drafted. I still feel blessed and in a position to succeed and I’m ecstatic to be a New York Jet.”

Bullitt wondered what defensive player wouldn’t cherish a shot with the Bal-timore Ravens.

“Growing up, I’ve always watched the Ravens since they were in the Super Bowl in 2000,” he said. “If you play defense, every-one dreams of putting on that black and purple and playing for the Ravens, so this is like a dream come true.”

Bullitt said Ravens of-ficials called in the sixth

round to say they were considering him as a late-round pick, but they need-ed to take a quarterback and a wide receiver – two positions they had not ad-dressed.

Based on those conver-sations with the Ravens, however, Bullitt said he didn’t need a second offer once the draft ended.

“They expressed how much I was number one on their board,” he said, “and I feel really good about the situation for me.”

Tech’s free agents have more tangible hopes than usual given the recent success of some of their ex-teammates. Tackle LaAdrian Waddle and safety Cody Davis both wound up on regular-sea-son rosters last season, Waddle with the Lions and Davis with the Rams, after going undrafted.

Sundown’s Sanchez wins gold in 3,200

AUSTIN — Andrea San-chez likes to run the cross country course with the boys.

If she doesn’t, she doesn’t get pushed.

If the Sundown freshman doesn’t, she knows she won’t get better. But, better for Sanchez is not just about winning gold medals. After following up her Class 1A cross country state champi-onship with a gold medal in the Class 1A Division I 3,200-meter run at the state track and field meet Saturday at Mike A. Myers Stadium, she already has her sights set on state records and a college scholarship.

“What pushes me toward the state record is running with the boys,” Sanchez said. “Because they like to push me and sometimes I kind of beat them.”

It helps that her brother Maurice Sanchez was a state competitor, too, running in the 100-meter dash for Sun-down. He finished eighth Saturday night.

“It is so fun to see them get mad at me (when I beat them),” Andrea Sanchez said.

Sanchez won the race with a time of 11 minutes, 39.55 seconds. The time was her personal best of the season, but still more than a minute off the state record.

“I started as a seventh grader and I won a lot of

medals,” Andrea Sanchez said. “To be able to make my mark already is a huge deal because I want to go to col-lege for both cross country and track.

“I have to start now, not later (if I want to do that).”

She also expects to have four gold medals by the time she is finished with her ca-reer.

“Hopefully. That’s the goal.”

The underclassman was not alone with making her mark at an early age. O’Donnell sophomore Kait-lin Bell won her second silver medal of the meet, taking home second in the 1,600-meter run.

Bell led early Friday only to fall behind late. Saturday, she let Garden City’s Kamie Halfmann, who won gold in the 3,200 ahead of Bell on Friday, take the lead.

“She decided she wanted to take it … so I was like ‘OK you take it’ and we just kind of went back and forth,” Bell said.

It worked better, but not enough.

Despite outkicking Half-mann at the end, Bell was too far behind going into the final turn. “I didn’t go out as fast as I usually do and I had a lot more kick (at the end),” Bell said.

Also competing Satur-day morning was Bobby Childers of Crosbyton. He finished fourth in the 1A-D1 boys 3,200 with a time of 10:08.93.

Tech. He had to wait a day to find out he was the best third-place regional finish-er in Texas and, thus, the wild-card entry for the 5A state-meet long jump.

Once in, he made the most of it.

“I’m very excited at the results,” first-year Coro-nado head coach Jason Shahan said. “I thought he might have a chance to medal coming into the thing, and the fact that he matched his personal best was a true test of his hard work throughout the last two months.”

Region I champion Na-tron Gipson, a Kansas State signee from Arling-ton Bowie, won Saturday’s competition by clearing 6-11. Elton Dyer from South Houston made it over 6-10 for second.

Culver had topped out at 6-8 three meets in a row late in the season before getting 6-9 in regional. This time, he got 6-9 on his sec-ond try, but that came after he needed his third and last attempt to clear 6-8.

“Coach always says, ‘When you know you’ve got to go get it, you’ll go get it,’” said Culver, a 6-3, 165-

pound senior. “So he said I’ve done it before, ‘Just go at it.’ So I went at it and got it.”

In the 3A girls 400, Free-man got off to a bad start.

As a result, the Lady Matadors standout didn’t have the finish she want-ed. A year after winning state, Freeman settled for second “I really wasn’t ready (for the start),” Freeman said. “I tried my best, though, to make it through.”

Freeman’s time was 56.79, about a second off her winning time of 55.78 last year. Waco Connally

freshman Tontyana Sand-ers won in 54.21.

After winning gold last year, Freeman had mixed emotions over the silver medal.

“I am disappointed, but at the same time I am proud,” she said. “I quali-fied again and I made it and got a medal.”

In her second race of the day, the 200 meters, Free-man finished ninth and said her legs were sore from the previous race.

“It was very close,” she said. “Usually, (the events are) not that close when I race.”

TRACK: Culver entered state on wild card

They all could have quit. That would have been the easy thing to do.

It would have been what was expected.

A teenager in a wheel-chair can’t compete in the 100-meter dash or throw a shot put.

An athlete without a track to practice on can’t become a hurdler.

And surely a blind girl can’t pole vault.

But, they did.All of those athletes and

more have made the most of the opportunities life has thrust upon them in-stead of dwelling on what it has failed to provide.

On days when McLain could not make the 25-mile round trip from Channing to Boys Ranch to practice — his typical daily routine — he ran on a dirt track.

Channing is a small 1A school. The high school (grades 9-12) has an enroll-ment of about 50.

The track is a dirt ring. There is no football team; there simply are not enough boys to play.

But McLain, who won gold medals in the 110- and 300-meter on Saturday, has never considered leaving.

“It is something my parents and I have dis-cussed,” McLain said.

But, that is as far as the conversation went. To McLain that would be quitting, and quitters don’t win two gold medals at the

state meet. Brown, a junior at Emory

Rains, can’t even see the bar that she tries to vault over. She has to bring a seeing eye dog to the track so she does not run into other competitors.

But despite those ob-stacles, she made the meet and finished fourth in the Class 3A pole vault with a jump of 11 feet.

She overcame the ad-versity.

Brown didn’t quit. Less than a year ago,

Hillbish had no thoughts of spending this weekend in Austin — unless it was for a school visit.

Hilbish was the No. 1 seed in the wheelchair 100-meter dash with a time of 22.54 seconds. She also competed in the 400-meter dash.

She was born with a disease. But, she never stopped trying.

That simply wouldn’t be who she is.

Using a chair that’s an-chored to the ground and features a pole for lever-age, Strelsky competed in shot put. He learned how to use his disability as an advantage.

He life was altered in an instant. He could have given up. Yet, he kept on pushing, kept on trying to get better.

He never quit.And now he has an ac-

complishment, a medal and a memory that will last him a lifetime.
