Coach Shelli Cobb and her Lady Ducks track team continued to impress the opposition last week as they earned three berths at the upcoming UIL State Track Meet to be held in Austin, June 5-6th.

    According to Cobb, the girls had a great showing at the Regional Track Meet in Humble.  Chasity Douglas is no stranger to the state track meet and will make her third appearance in the discus.  Chasity easily out-threw the competition to become the regional champion.  The closest competitor to
her was over 7 feet away!  She will compete on Friday, June 5th at 5pm.

    Stephanie Zachary will experience the state meet for the first time as she jumped from 10th to 2nd place in the shot put on her final throw of the prelims.  That throw held up as she finished the competition as the Regional runner-up.  She will compete at 10:30 am on Saturday, June 6th
at the state meet.

    Kelsey Marek will also see her first state meet appearance as she came from behind in a strong finish in the 300 M Hurdles to become the regional runner-up.  Cobb felt that if Kelsey would have had about two more meters, she would have claimed the number one spot as she was clearly running down the Cameron girl in the home stretch.  She will run at 2:00 pm on Saturday, June 6th at the state meet.

    "All three girls are seniors and have chosen a great way to put their stamp on their final season," said Cobb. "We are so proud of these girls, as well as the ones who came up a just short of qualifying for State."

    Taylor ISD nurse Sally Naivar has announced that beginning with the 2009-2010 school year, there are additional immunization requirements for both Kindergarten and 7th grade students.  According to Naivar, these immunizations are mandatory prior to starting school in August!

    For Kindergarten parents, the solution is to attend Northside's Kindergarten Round-up on April 15th from 1-6 p.m. and get the FREE IMMUNIZATIONS.

    According to Naivar, the district will offer an immunization clinic in May.  The date and place are still pending.

NEW REQUIREMENTS 

    Coach Melvin Jenkins and the Lady Ducks softball team are 4-1 atop District 24-AAA play and travel to Rockdale Saturday for games with the Lady Tigers at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. respectively.

    The Lady Ducks are coming off their victory over Caldwell in Taylor last Tuesday. 

    The UIL refused to rule on Taylor's recent appeal of their loss at Madisonville, but Coach Jenkins' squad remains in 1st place as the first half of district play winds down.
