Ten Pirate Track and Field student-athletes combined to score 28 points at last week’s Class 3A Region IV Meet in Seguin to secure a fourth place finish. There were 34 different schools represented.
Three of those 10 now move on as State Qualifiers after senior Jewell Hicks won the 400m Dash, Jacob Cantu won the 1600m, and Sebastian Garcia earned the Wild Card spot in the 800m Run after finishing third in the region but having the next best qualifying time from across the state.
Others competing at a high level not only at Regional but throughout the 2026 season were Adrian Reyna, Diego Reyna, Clayton Jopling, Noah Smoot, Angel De La Rosa, and Christopher Jacques.
Congratulations to all Pirate athletes and to Head Coach Sebastian Benavides and best of luck to Jewell, Jacob, and Sebastian at State!…LOGIN TO CONTINUE READING at www.devinenewsmembers.com.
