The UIL State Track & Field Championships continued on Friday with Class 5A and 2A competition at Mike A. Myers Stadium in Austin, and for the second straight day, a San Antonio-area team is coming home as state champions.
Smithson Valley sophomore Alyssa Jones made her mark throughout the day. After taking second in the Class 5A Girls Long Jump, she anchored the 4x200-meter relay to a gold medal, struck gold herself in the 200-meter dash with a time of 23.59 seconds, and led-off the first-place 4x400-meter relay. Her contributions helped power the Ranger girls to the top of the Class 5A team standings with 62 total points.
She is one of many area athletes bringing home hardware from the state meet - below is a list of all of the San Antonio-area’s podium finishers:
