Reg I Track Meet (4-25&26-14)
Austin Ross was the only Mule or Lady Mule to
qualify for the Texas State Track Meet to be held in Austin May 9-10, 2014. Ross
qualified as a wild card by running the fourth fastest time in all four regions
in the 200-meter dash.
Ross ran a time of 22.56 seconds in the
200-meter dash to qualify for the finals. He won the bronze medal in the event
with an improved time of 21.92. Since a ninth lane has been added to the Mike
Meyers track in Austin the fast time of the regional non-qualifying finalist
earns the right to run as a wild card.
Many felt that Ross had a better opportunity
to make the State Meet in the 400-meter run. He qualified for the finals with a
time of 50.63 and finished fourth with an improved time of 50.05 for a personal
best.
Eli Leal qualified for the finals in the high
jump and finished eighth with a leap of six feet even. Jesus Manzanares ran a
time of 2:05.85 in the 800-meter run to finish seventh.
Adrienne Precure finished seventh in the high
jump with a leap of 5-00 for seventh place. Mireya Ruvalcaba competed in her
first Region I Meet win the 800-meter run and placed fifth with a time of
2:29.34.
Precure qualified in the 100-meter hurdles
with a time of 15.89 and finished fourth in that event with a 17.00. Precure
also qualified for the finals in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 47.50. She
placed seventh with an improved time of 47.19.
