Your Lady Pirate track team traveled to Seguin on 9April25 to participate in the 3A 27/28 Area Championships.
It was the toughest Area Meet we have been in since COVID. Competing against the 3-time State Champions definitely brought out the best in us. Unfortunately for some, it still wasn't enough to advance but definitely helped us for next year.
We started the day with the 3200m run and had the best showing we have ever had in this event at any meet as 2 of our girls broke the 12-minute barrier and set tremendous Personal Records. Unfortunately, only Frances Scotello managed to advance. She broke her PR by over 18 seconds to place 2nd. It took every bit of effort to get that runner-up spot as 2nd through 5th were separated by less than 2 seconds. Unfortunately for freshman Elyse Cortinas, she finished 5th even though she took off 1 minute 6 seconds of her PR!!! She had a GREAT RACE missing 4th by 1 second but she gave it her all, and then some, running an amazing 11:44.24.
In the 800m we had 2 (Klayre Cook & Kaycee Galindo) advance as another freshman set a PR. In the 400m Addison Criado placed 3rd and set a PR to advance as did the 4x400m Relay of Addison Criado, Kaycee Galindo, Klayre Cook and Giselle Esparza who also finished 3rd.
The girls that advance will return to Seguin on Good Friday in hopes of securing a top 8 spot to advance to the Finals on Saturday.
