Under the direct of Coach Aaron Steele, five girls advanced to the Regional Championship in A&M Commerce on April 28. Serenity Johnson competed in long jump, April Walker competed in shot put, Key’era Quezada ran the 800 meter, Markya Battee ran the 100 meter, and Mykaela Alfred ran the 100 meter hurdles along with the 300 meter hurdles.

“This is a huge accomplishment as we competed in what I believe is the toughest region in the state. When it was all said and done, Mykaela finished second in the 100 meter hurdles and earned a trip to the state championship. This means she is one of the best 9 hurdlers in the state in 4A” Steele said.

Both teams compete at Regionals on May 6 in hopes of advancing to the State meet in Austin on May 13.
