UIL CHAMPIONSHIPS: LIVE 2A RESULTS
2A ATHLETES TO WATCH
Post senior Zach Courtney — Courtney, a powerful thrower who has also signed to play tight end at Colorado, boasts by far the top mark (168’5”) of all 2A shot put state qualifiers.
Bruceville-Eddy senior Billy Eaton — Eaton was one of only two sub-6A pole vaulters to earn their place at state with a 16-foot vault, which is at least 12 inches higher than all the other state qualifiers in Class 2A.
Shiner senior Doug Brooks — A standout on the gridiron that helped Shiner seal back-to-back football state championships, Brooks could help the Comanches repeat as track and field state champs as one of the top contenders for first place in discus and shot put.
Lindsay freshman Campbell Corcoran — After landing the top qualifying mark with a 127’1” throw at regionals, Corcoran can cap off a sensational season with a discus state title at her first state meet appearance.
Refugio sophomore Ernest Campbell — The Bobcats’ sprinter owns the fastest qualifying time for the 100-meter dash in Class 2A as well as serving as the anchor for Refugio’s 4x100- and 4x200-meter relay teams that are also headed to state.
Brackettville senior Abraham Morales — After winning individual state championships in the 1,600- and 3,200-meter runs at the 2A state meet last season, Moales is back looking to defend his titles and improve upon last year’s performance with a third medal in the 800.
Normangee senior Izaha Jones — Jones will be making his third career appearance at the UIL state championships and searching for a second straight long jump state title after setting a new PR (23’6.75”) at the Region IV-5A meet.
Wellington senior Kyla Kane — Kane, who finished first in the 1,600-meter run and second in the 800 at state last year, earned a repeat trip to the 2A state meet with top mark (2:20.46) in the 800-meter run and second-fastest 1,600 time among all qualifying girls distance runners.
Panhandle senior Macklynn Land — Land was a driving force behind the Panhandle girls’ team state championship in 2021, and should help again in that regard this year as the anchor on the Panthers’ 4x100-meter relay team and as the fastest sprinter to reach the 2A girls 200-meter dash state finals.
San Augustine junior JaToryia Barnes — After reaching state in both the long jump and triple jump, Barnes will hope to defend her 2021 state title in the triple jump as one of the top qualifiers in a deep heat of competitors.
Joaquin senior Victoria Byrd — The Rams’ standout, who has reached the state championships in three events for the second straight season, will look to duplicate her performance from last year at the 2A state meet when she won both the 100- and 200-meter dashes and finished third in the long jump.
