Well, folks, Fredericksburg is buzzing with excitement as our high school track and field teams have definitely made their mark at two major events this season! Let’s dive right into the action, shall we?
George Stenberg Sets the Track on Fire!
First up, let’s talk about our very own George Stenberg. He recently gave us all something to cheer about at the illustrious Texas Relays, which took place at the University of Texas in Austin. Hold onto your hats, because this young man shattered both his personal best and the school record for the 100-meter dash!
At the preliminary round, he blitzed through the finish line in an astounding time of 10.82 seconds. But wait, it gets even better! In the finals, Stenberg pushed through and clocked an impressive 10.68 seconds, securing an eighth-place finish in the highly competitive Boys’ Division I. This was a historic moment as it broke the previous school record of 10.80 seconds, which had stood since 1999.
Stenberg attributes his remarkable performance to the electric atmosphere surrounding the event and the unwavering support from his coaches. After three years of hard work and dedication in sprinting, it seems his efforts are really paying off. With his sights set on continuing this streak, Stenberg is primed to take on the regional competitions ahead. So, feet planted, eyes on the prize!
