Body

The Sealy Tiger track teams hosted the annual Sammy Dierschke Relays at T.J. Mills Stadium and Sealy Junior High School last Thursday and came away with both team titles as well as new school records.

The Tigers compiled 203 team points which were good enough for an 18-point lead over second-place Needville. The Lady Tigers registered 234 total team points which provided a 75-point lead over second-place Needville by the end of the night.

A pair of Lady Tiger standout performers also etched their names into the record books over the course of events. Freshman Taniah Coleman finished first in five different individual events (100, 200, 400, long jump, triple jump) and grabbed 50 points for her team which set a school record. Junior Breanna Brandes broke her own school record in the pole vault and extended the mark to 11 feet, 7 inches to win the event.

Also winning their events were Allyson Guerrero (1600- and 3200-meter runs), Alexis Brown, Breanna Brandes, Courtney Roberts and Dejua Posada (4x400-meter relay) and Brooke Kram (discus).

Grabbing runner-up positions included Madison Manak (3200-meter run), Ella Ward (300-meter hurdles), Julia Jurecka (shot put), Ally Dickens (discus) and Emma Statham (pole vault). In addition, Hollie Brown and Dejua Posada took second and third from the 800-meter run.

For the Tigers, Daniel Medrano won the 3200-meter run, Draper Parker, Haden Wernecke and Mason Klotz swept the top three in the triple jump and Jonathan Monterroza, Thomas Clark and Callen Rabius did the same in the discus.

Xavier Olvera (1600-meter run) and Francisco Reyes (shot put) joined Rabius (400-meter dash) and Wernecke (long jump) in recording runner-up finishes in their events.
