Multiple San Angelo ISD track and field athletes participated in area track meets this past week for the opportunity to move on as they continue their quest for the state meet in May.

The Central boys track team won third place with 57 points at the district 1-6A/2-6A area meet at Ratliff Stadium in Odessa, however, there were many individual medalists as well. Central’s Alyssa Delgado won the 200-meter dash with a time of 25.94 seconds and Lake View’s Derrick Taylor won the high jump with a jump of 6-feet, 4-inches at the District 5-4A/6-4A meet.

To qualify for the regional track meet, athletes need to finish in the top four at their area events. Then at regionals, the top two finishers at each event will move on to the state track meet.
