The Legacy boys and girls track and field teams both won District 2-6A titles at the meet in San Angelo, but took vastly different paths to achieve their victories. The Rebels boys team dominated the competition, cruising to 193 points to easily win their second straight district championship. Meanwhile, the Lady Rebels earned a hard-fought title with 143 points, holding off challenges from several other teams.

Why it matters

The boys' dominant performance and the girls' gritty victory highlight the program's ability to develop elite talent across multiple events and compete at the highest levels of Texas high school track and field.

The details

The Rebels boys team won its eighth district title in school history, even without fielding a team in the 1,600 relay. Senior Nic Moore led the way, winning five gold medals in individual and relay events. Freshman Derrion Thomas also had a standout debut, winning three golds. On the girls' side, the Lady Rebels overcame a dropped baton in the 400 relay and other challenges to claim their first district title since 2006. Iyana Smith, Skye Lopez, and Cayzli Wilson swept the top three spots in the 100-meter dash, while the 800 relay team of Gabriela Gutierrez, Jaelynn Norman, Tarayah Hubert, and Faith Helmke won by nearly 2.5 seconds.

What they’re saying

“This year he kind of went in with the mentality that whatever you need coach, we'll do it. Us having conversations with him that hey it's going to be five events. We expect you to be an area qualifier in five events. Not only is he an area qualifier in five events, but he took it upon himself to be a first-place finisher in all five of those events. It's a unique deal.”

— Lloyd Chisum, Head Coach, Legacy Boys Track

“We're just excited about Derrion's future, within our program, he's a heck of a young talent. He reminds me a lot of Caden and Nic and (Masseye) Diop in the hunger to be a really, really great competitor in track and field.”

— Lloyd Chisum, Head Coach, Legacy Boys Track

“(Helmke) could have not had a good performance after what had happened on the exchange, but she did, so she was able to overcome and be successful and that's a credit to her being able to gather herself, flushing whatever bad happened and focusing on the next race. It's what we talk about all the time, it's about process, not result.”

— Frank Maldonado, Head Coach, Legacy Girls Track

What’s next

The Legacy boys and girls track teams will compete at the Area 2-6A meet on April 18 in El Paso, where they will look to qualify more athletes for the regional championships.
