Hi this is
Oceane, here to recap the regional track meets! The competitors for the state
meet have been determined, and there were some incredible performances along
the way.
Kira White (SO)
ran the fastest 100m time of 11.64 at the region 1-5A meet. Danyel White (SO)
had the fastest 200m time of 23.63 also at the region 1-5A meet. Jarra Owens
(JR) ran the fastest 400m time at the region 3-5A meet of 54.91.
The leading
time going into the state meet in the 800 is Kristyn William’s (JR) 2:11.19
from the region 3-4A meet. Anna Cozart (SR) was the region 4-5A champion with a
time of 2:13.12, and I was able to interview her after her race.
In the girls
1600, we had a fantastic race in region 4-5A with Devin Clark (JR), Morgan
Szekely (12) and Paige Hofstad (10). Clark was the winner after outkicking
Szekely and running a time of 4:46. Szekely placed 2nd with a time
of 4:48 and Hofstad was 3rd with 4:51, a time that would’ve placed
first in any other region. The previous day Clark was the 3200m champion with a
time of 10:27.13, and Hofstad was 2nd with a time of 10:27.99. Here
is my interview with Devin Clark.
Alexis
Duncan (10) continues to lead the hurdles, winning region 4-5A 100m hurdles
with a time of 13.44.
Other highlights from the girls were Fort Bend Bush’s 4x4
relay that ran a time of 3:45 and Converse Judson’s 4x2 winning with a time of
1:37. San Antonio Brennan had a good lead in the girls 4x2 relay running a time
of 1:42.18. I was able to interview them after their race.
Based solely upon the regional meets, Desoto is the favorite
to win the 5A girls state championship and Texas City is the favorite to win 4A.
Some highlights from the boys race: Darrion Flowers (11) ran
a 10.34 in the 100m at the region 1-5A meet. Devante Lacy (12) ran a 46.88 400
at the region 2-5A meet. Robert Ford won the boys 800 at the region 4-5A meet
with a time of 1:53, and I was able to interview him after his race.
Austen Dalquist (12) ran a 4:13 1600, and still holds the
fastest time of the season of 4:09. Norman Grimes (10) ran 36.90 in the 300m
hurdles leading the 4A boys by almost a full second.
Summer Creek dominated the relays, leading 4A with times of
40.93 in the 4x1 and 3:14 in the 4x4. Katy Morton Ranch is the leading team for
5A boys and Fort Bend Marshall is the leading team for 4A boys.
This was a fantastic weekend with tons of fast times, and I
can’t wait for the state meet! The girls performance of the week goes to Devin
Clark once again for running a 4:46 1600 and 10:27 3200. The boys performance
of the week goes to Devante Lacy for being the first boy of the season to break
47 in the 400.
Congrats to all of the state qualifiers, and thank you for
watching Stride by Stride!
