The competition took place at Stony Point High School in Round Rock, TX where middle and high school athletes from top public charter athletic programs in the Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston areas competed in a total of 62 events.

The ILTexas KWHS boys and girls track teams competed in nine events including the 100, 200, and 800 meter races as well as the 1-mile, discus and long jump events.

“I am most proud of my girls team for getting better after each meet they competed in,” said Alisha Collins, the Division Athletic Coordinator and a founding Coach at KWHS. “If they were not satisfied with their times in the meet before, they worked hard and pushed themselves at practice to drop times for the next meet.”
