Fort Bend Elkins' Jadyn Acuna
THE NEXT STEP: Acuna expected to be the new face of Elkins XC moving forward
Acuna enters her third season with the Elkins cross country team following a breakout sophomore campaign, one that firmly established her as a reliable front-runner in the district and a rising name in Class 6A competition.
Her performance at the 2024 District 21-6A Championship Meet marked a highpoint—clocking a personal-best 20:33.00 in the 5K to earn fifth overall. That individual finish proved crucial in lifting the Lady Knights to a third-place team result, securing their advancement into postseason competition.
She followed up that effort with an appearance at the 6A Region III Meet in Huntsville, where she placed 110th out of 173 runners—a valuable step in her development on a bigger stage.

While the Regional result may not have turned heads, it was the kind of performance that reflects Acuna’s upward trajectory and sets the tone for what’s expected in 2025.
As Elkins reloads for the fall season, head coach Ben Still will undoubtedly be looking to Acuna as the team’s most experienced and battle-tested competitor.
What she lacks in seniority, she makes up for in grit and proven results. And with two years of varsity-level experience already behind her, Acuna is primed to anchor a team that’s aiming to climb the district ranks and push deeper into regional contention.
For Elkins, the fall season begins with plenty of question marks—but the one constant remains clear. Jadyn Acuna is ready to lead the charge.

Fort Bend Clements' Jastine Escamos
KEEPING THE CROWN: After State glory, Clements' Escamos sets sights on senior surge
Teaming up with then-senior Gabriel Segubiense, the duo took the court at the Northside ISD Tennis Center in San Antonio and delivered a commanding performance, defeating El Paso Franklin’s Kendall Olivas and Ayden Fraire in straight sets to claim the championship.
The win didn’t just mark a career milestone—it set the stage for Escamos to return this fall as the face of the Fort Bend Clements tennis program.

With Segubiense having graduated, Escamos now steps into a leadership role, carrying the experience of a title run and the drive to do it again. Her composure under pressure and ability to elevate her game at critical moments make her a key player to watch as the new season unfolds.
As the Rangers prepare for the road ahead, Escamos isn’t just focused on past accolades. She’s looking forward—to new partnerships, fresh challenges, and the opportunity to leave an even greater legacy in her final high school campaign.
The spotlight’s nothing new. And if last season was any indication, Escamos is more than ready to own it once again.
