Track season is reaching the home stretch with the State Meet approaching in May, and one of the brightest spots for the Lady Cats this season has been the return of Pilot Point senior and multi-time State qualifier Peytyn Goodin.
A knee injury in January almost derailed her senior season, but Goodin battled her way back on the track, winning the bronze medal in the 400-meter dash and helping the Lady Cats win bronze in the 4x400-meter relay at the UIL Region II-3A Track Meet in Whitesboro on April 16.
“With a broken kneecap a few weeks ago, it’s remarkable that she’s even competing at all and especially competing at a high level like she is,” said Jeff Price, Pilot Point girls track coach. “She’s basically a medical marvel. … To see her improvement and how much faster she’s been getting, which is due to how hard she’s worked in rehab, but I’m just glad she’s seeing the benefits of that and that we get to see her run at regionals.”
