Smithson Valley's Ella Pickron won the 5A girls pole vault, and Boerne Champion's Elizabeth Leachman won both distance races at the UIL state track meet.
AUSTIN — Smithson Valley ’s Ella Pickron applauded after landing on the mat for the final time as a high school competitor. Although she missed setting a personal best, it was her way of telling herself, “job well done.” It’s hard to argue with gold — the medal she earned after clearing 13 feet, 0 inches to win the UIL Class 5A girls pole vault at the state track meet Friday afternoon at Myers Stadium in Austin.
Taylor Nunez, Sophia Bendet lead Randolph's record-breaking three-peat at state track meet “I was just so happy with my performance,” said Pickron, who is signed with Colorado State. “I mean, I gave it my all, and it was great and yeah, it was wonderful.” Pickron matched her personal best set at the Region IV-5A championships two weeks ago at Heroes Stadium. After securing the gold, Pickron missed on three tries at 13-3.
