The 2016-17 Tiger season at a glance

Success on the field wasn’t hard to find for Dripping Springs athletics in 2016-2017, as all team sports finished at or above the .500 mark during the season. The season began with the Tiger volleyball team’s undefeated district championship and ended with the softball team’s trip to the state tournament. The figures, however, don’t count many of the individual successes claimed by Dripping Springs Tigers during the course of the season. Highlighting the invidivudal highlights was Tiger tennis player Jayci Goldsmith, who in April secured the school’s first individual tennis state championship. Dripping Springs’ cross country team reached the UIL state meet for a second straight year. The Tiger wrestling team’s Chase Warden and Clayton Jetton both earned a trip to the state meet in 2017. The Tiger track and field team send several athletes to the UIL Region IV, 5A meet, with Sydney Cole and Hannah Biggs advancing to the state meet. Overall, Dripping Springs teams went 180-78-11 on the year.
