Episcopal High’s track and field program turned in a commanding performance at the SPC Championships this past weekend, held at the Awty Sports Complex in Houston. Both the boys’ and girls’ teams showcased their dominance, securing team titles in emphatic fashion.
Led by Head Coach Isaiah Coleman, the Episcopal boys’ team claimed their third straight SPC title with a final score of 193.5—more than 50 points ahead of runner-up Kinkaid. The girls’ team was just as impressive, capturing their second consecutive championship with a staggering 226.5 points, outpacing St. John’s by over 80 points.
Among the standout performances, DeVonte “DJ” Taylor II delivered one of the most remarkable individual showings of the meet, striking gold in five individual events: the 100m Dash, 110m Hurdles, 300m Hurdles, Long Jump, and Triple Jump. He also contributed to Episcopal’s victory in the 4x100m Relay.
On the girls’ side, Mary Taylor led the charge with gold medal finishes in the 100m Hurdles, Long Jump, and Triple Jump. She also earned silver in the 300m Hurdles and bronze in the High Jump, highlighting her versatility and consistency.
Additional contributions came from a deep roster of talented athletes including Tennessee Galbreth, Travis Johnson II, Ryder Linebarger, Josh Johnson, and Rodney Thomas II for the boys, and Sophia Cormier, Ariana White, Meg Billipp, Georgia Bass, Kamille Bishop, Ryan Fox, and Emilia Sanchez for the girls.

Fort Worth Country Day’s boys track & field team etched their names into school history this past weekend by capturing their first-ever SPC championship title.
Under the leadership of Head Coach Jared Connaughton, the Falcons delivered a performance defined by depth, determination, and teamwork at the SPC Championships held at the Awty Sports Complex in Houston.
FWCD finished with a commanding score of 178 points—20 clear of runner-up John Cooper—securing a long-awaited championship for the program.
Central to the Falcons’ success was their outstanding relay unit, which showcased both speed and consistency across multiple events.
Contributors including Canaan Factor, Diego Hatcher, Jordan Jones, Owen Bloemendal, Cal Neubauer, William Runyon, Dario Rosas, Chuy Orozco, and Ty Williams played critical roles in amassing key points through the relays.
Individually, Owen Bloemendal led the charge with a gold medal in the 200m Dash, a silver in the 100m Dash, and a bronze in the Long Jump—demonstrating impressive range and poise across sprint and field events.
Additional key performances came from Diego Hatcher, Cal Neubauer, Nate Blan, Kai Chancellor, and Jackson Bloemendal, whose contributions helped round out a deep and balanced roster.

AWTY INTERNATIONAL RAMS (SPC-3A GIRLS CHAMPIONS)
The Awty International School girls’ track & field team delivered a landmark performance this past weekend, capturing their first-ever SPC Championship—and doing so in commanding fashion on their home track.
Led by Head Coach Ryan Harlan, the Rams dominated the competition, finishing with a team total of 182 points, more than 40 points ahead of second-place Fort Worth Country Day.
From start to finish, the Awty girls showcased exceptional depth and determination. Leading the charge was Liesl Sercu, who turned in a standout performance by claiming gold in both the 400m Dash and High Jump, and adding a silver medal in the 200m Dash.
The success extended to the relay events, where the Rams’ 4x400m team—featuring Sercu, Kari Sparrock, Alexandria Johnson, Indigo Mouton, Aanya Gautam, and Abby Roux—earned the top podium spot. That same core group also secured a bronze medal in the 4x800m relay, adding valuable points to the team’s historic total.
Contributions poured in across the board, with key performances from Romy Bignon, Elle Williams, Leila Sholokhova, Amelia Williams, and Austin Lloyd, helping to solidify Awty’s championship run.
In a season already filled with strong performances, this dominant showing marks a defining moment for the Rams’ program—and sets a high standard for the future.
