C.E. King sophomore Dillon Mitchell claims a gold medal in a monumental 100m Dash (9.92)

Matthew Ogle (VYPE)

Last week’s fittingly dramatic close to the track season brought teams and fans from across Texas to Austin, each chasing a share of the state titles.

In 6A, Tompkins set the tone early with gold in the boys’ 4x100 relay before adding a runner-up finish in the 4x200. Paired with Blake Hamilton’s wind-aided 200m — an eye-opening mark that set a new all-conditions high school national record — the Katy ISD program surged to its first-ever state championship, finishing with 47 points. Byron Nelson (27) and Shadow Creek (24) followed close behind.
