Several Lions qualify for Area Meet
Staff reports
LIBERTY HILL – Lockhart High School’s Zeke Sanchez qualified in three events for the Area Track Meet this week at New Braunfels, but Lions’ Coach Scott Hippensteel said the junior will only compete in the 1600-meter run.
“He shows the most promise in the 1600,” Hippensteel said.
Sanchez was 4th in the district 800-meter run at Liberty Hill on April 12. He was 6th in the 3200-meters and 3rd in the 1600-meters in a time of 4:34.26.
The Lions competed in the Area Meet on Wednesday at Canyon High School.
A pair of Lady Lions won individual events at District, while a relay team also won.
Sophomore Rakaia Walker won the 100-meter dash in 12.13 seconds.
Junior Kennedy Roland won the high jump at 5-foot, 3-inches.
Also, the 4×100-meter relay team of Lockhart — Jada Edwards, Lily Royal-Corpus, Rakaia Walker, Kennedy Roland – won in a time of 50.02.
“I think they did a good job and represented our school pretty well,” Hippensteel said of the LHS athletes. “What Zeke did was great, and Rakaia Walker is pretty special.”
There will be 18 high schools at the Area Meet on Wednesday and from there the top four will be taken in each event to the Regional at San Antonio’s Heroes Stadium April 28–29. The top two in each event at Regionals will qualify for the 5A State Meet at the University of Texas in Austin on Friday, May 12.
