🏃♂️🦅 STATE TRACK QUALIFIERS 🦅🏃♀️
We are so proud of our DCLA athletes heading to the 2026 State Track Meet! What an incredible accomplishment and a true reflection of hard work, dedication, and determination.
The boys' team finished as Regional Runner-Up — an outstanding achievement! 👏 Congratulations to Dawson Scott (long jump) and Lincoln Taylor (high jump) on being Regional Champions! 🥇
Track is one of the toughest sports there is. It demands the kind of mental toughness that pushes athletes to compete not just against others, but against themselves. Every race, jump, and relay takes discipline, grit, and heart. That’s exactly why this accomplishment means so much — these athletes have earned every bit of it.
Good luck to:
Brice Bledsoe: high jump, 4 x 800 relay, 800 meter, 4 x 400 relay
Trip Briggs: 4 x 100 relay, 4 x 200 relay, 4 x 800 retlay, 4 x 400 relay
Kaplan Compala: 4 x 800 relay
Alexi Hill: high jump
Will Muegge: 4 x 100 realy, 100 sprint, 200 sprint, 4 x 200 realy
