Pirate Nation!
Wednesday, March 5, the Pirate Track and Field team traveled to compete in the 2025 Wolfpack Relays Meet, marking our third meet of the season. The competition gave us a chance to face district rivals we hadn't yet competed against, and it was a night for the books! Our team was firing on all cylinders, delivering impressive performances across distance, jumps, throws, and sprints. This year, the boys' track team in Lytle is the strongest I've seen in a long time. After struggling last year in relays and sprints, the addition of a few athletes who haven’t participated in track since junior high, along with some young, gritty freshmen eager to make a name for themselves, has made all the difference.
Dilley Track Meet Team Highlights:
The Varsity Boys’ Team put on an outstanding performance, earning the title of TEAM CHAMPIONS out of 12 competing schools with a total of 143.5 points. We edged out Holy Cross by a margin of 46 points, a far more dominant lead than the narrow 1-point victory in our season opener. Our team also left a strong mark on the rest of the district, with Cotulla being the closest competitor, earning only 56 points. We tripled their score!
Many athletes and relays set new personal records (PRs) and showed major improvements.
Notable Performances:
3200m: Diego Reyna (1st), Johnny Alvarez (2nd), Adrian Reyna (3rd) - All District Leaders
800m: Sebastian Garcia (1st), Chase Guevara (2nd) - Both District Leaders
4x100m Relay: 3rd place (De La Rosa, Angel / Davila, Toby / Jackson, Weston / Norton, Travis) – New Season’s Best 44.20 (District Leaders)
4x200m Relay: 1st place (De La Rosa, Angel / Davila, Toby / Jackson, Weston / Guevara, Chase) – New Season’s Best 1:33.50 (District Leaders)
4x400m Relay: 2nd place (De La Rosa, Angel / Guevara, Chase / Aguinaga, Kaden / Garcia, Sebastian) – New Season’s Best 3:34.58 (District Leaders)
1600m: Diego Reyna (1st), Johnny Alvarez (2nd), Adrian Reyna (3rd) – All District Leaders
Next Up: The Pirates’ next competition will be the 2025 Cole Cougars Relays on Thursday, March 13, 2025. The team is looking forward to building on this early success and continuing to improve.
