UIL State Meet Photos

I'm sorry for the scarcity of photos. The UIL made it extremely difficult for all media people to cover the meet. Results for all divisions were not made available after the meet and I was not allowed access to the finish area to shoot pictures at the end of races.

Calandra Stewart (Cy-Falls) pulled off a major upset in winning the 5A girls title. It wasn't by luck, either. Calandra ran a very strong race and, though she was really struggling the last 100 meters, held off San Antonio Reagan's Natalie Pichetti and San Antonio MacArthur's Genevieve Chavez.
Some people thought Leonel Manzano (Marble Falls) was definitely vulnerable in this year's 4A race, but he seemed in control the whole race. He stayed close to the leader until the last 1200m when he simply powered away from the field.
Giddings' Joanne Penn pulled away from the 3A field for a well-earned title.
Matt Brown (McGregor) had one of the more impressive wins all day with his 15-second win over Eula's Jorge Hernandez.
Dana Gillespie (Alvord) pulled away from sophomore star Amie Morton (Woden) in the last 200m to win the 2A title.
In one of days most exciting finishes, Forestburg's Christany Reynolds defeated Throckmorton's Halie Jacobs in the final stretch to win her first girls championship.
