Katy Jordan Track and Field has a speed demon in their midst.
At the Katy ISD Bubba Fife Relays, Jordan senior Nathan Salz logged the fastest official 100m Dash time in the nation, with an astounding 10.31 mark.
Salz holds numerous school records (100m, 200m, 4x100, 4x200, and Long Jump) and is the team MVP, indicating that the sky is the limit for the Warriors' star.
“Last year, my time (10.31) wasn’t the fastest, so I’m sure someone will end up beating it. For now, it feels really cool,” said Salz. “I never had the chance to run the 100m last year because that event is immediately before the 4x200, so running back-to-back wouldn’t usually be done. I’m clearly glad I did this year. Now that I have that time, I can focus on the relay and getting my team to State.”
Furthermore, his performance as a dual-sport athlete throughout his high school tenure has garnered Salz the attention of the University of Louisville, where he will join the football (WR) and track programs at the conclusion of this semester.
“Well, as they say, speed kills,” Salz said. “So, anytime I’m working on getting faster, it helps with both sports. Louisville said they want to use me to get behind the defender and ‘take the top off the defense,’ which sounds perfect to me. What appealed to me the most was the coaching. They were amazing throughout the whole process. I’m just excited to start checking off my goals there. Playing in front of ACC crowds at famous schools like Notre Dame, Clemson, and Miami. Man, it will be incredible.”
As a senior, this will be Salz’s final opportunity to represent Jordan on the track. Expect him to continue leaving opponents in the dust as he makes a run for the UIL State Meet.
“My main goal is to make State, both individually and with our relay team,” he said. “That’s been our goal for the last two years. I’ve loved being here [Katy Jordan]. My teammates have been awesome and being a part of the inaugural seasons has been fun. I’m obviously excited to step up and compete at the next level, but I will definitely miss my time at Jordan. I know both the track and football teams have big things ahead of them, so I want to finish this year with some more fond memories.”

The Woodlands High School 4-Star athlete Quanell X Farrakhan Jr. is VYPE's No. 6 player in the VYPE Future 55 2025 rankings. He's seen as one of the top prospects in the state of Texas and in the nation.
The highly-touted sophomore tallied 36 receptions for 600 yards and 10 TDs, while also being effective in the return game with two TDs. This led to many schools offering him as he has 12 P5 offers from big-time programs across the nation.
Today ,Farrakhan dropped his Top 5, which consists of Tennessee, Penn State, Florida State, Georgia and TCU.
On Georgia...
The Bulldogs and two-time National Champs were the first P5 program to offer Quanell back in March of 2022, and the Bulldogs have consistently been in contact with Q.
“They just went back-to-back and are probably going for three,” he said.
Farrakhan also mentioned the developmental side of their program as a deciding factor saying, “they are coaching players for the next level. If you want to go first round, Georgia is the place.”
...
On Tennessee...
The Volunteers had a breakout season, which saw their up-tempo, air-raid attack attract many wide receivers during the recruiting process.
Farrakhan was offered by the Vols in the back half of his sophomore season and the relationship the staff has built with him already is impactful. “The coaches treat me like one of their own,” said Q.
He also mentioned that with such a heavy air-raid passing attack, he liked the plan the staff had for him.
"They are going to base their offense around of me,” he said.
...
On Florida State...
Florida State is a program on the rise in the ACC, after a great turnaround season, the Noles have made Farrakhan's Top 5 list.
“I love their traditions that they have there. It’s something that I’ve never seen,” he said. He also like the fact that the program felt like a “family atmosphere” when he visited.
The star sophomore also liked the way Florida State uses their playmakers in big-time moments, and said he sees himself being called upon in those same situations in the future.
...
On Penn State...
Penn State has arguably one of the best atmospheres in college football and they always are in contention in the Big 10.
“The white out games are crazy,” he said, “All the fans they have at each and every game.. it’s always packed. Who wouldn’t want to play in front of thousands of people.”
While liking the atmosphere of Penn State's games and their fans, he also mentioned how much he liked the relationship between the staff and players.
“The coaches treat you with respect and every time I talk with them, I feel like I’m being treated as someone who’s already on their team,” he said.
...
On TCU...
The Horned Frogs were the second Power 5 program to offer Farrakhan last Spring after the new staff got settled in Fort Worth. After an excellent first year under Sonny Dykes, the Frogs landed in Farrakhan's Top 5.
"They really impressed me this past Fall and I feel like they're building something special," he said.
The potential to play on either side of the ball also played a factor for him.
Q also mentioned he liked the fact that it's not too far from Houston.
"It’s right up the street and close to home!" he said.
...
While Farrakhan dropped his Top 5 schools, he said he will still be taking other visits. He just visited Texas and Texas A&M this past weekend and he plans on visiting LSU this upcoming weekend.
The sophomore stud will definitely be one to keep an eye on this offseason as he enters his junior season.

No. 10--Oak Ridge War Eagles Baseball
2022: 26-10-2 (District 13-6A Champions/Regional Quarterfinalists)
HC: JJ Pierce
Last year featured an Oak Ridge team that won their first district title since the 2017-18 season. Subsequently, the War Eagles advanced three rounds into the postseason, falling to eventual State Semifinalist Rockwall-Heath.
Who’s to say this year’s roster can take it the distance? With an A-List group that features senior RHP Hayden Morris, anything is possible. The 6-foot-8 Texas signee enjoyed a career year in 2022 with an 8-3 record along with an astounding 137 strikeouts.
Joining Morris on the diamond will be first-team, all-district selections – senior catcher Conner Bennett (Houston) and senior OF Dillon Staples.
This will be a dangerous team come playoff time because they will be battle-tested in district play.
