SAN ANTONIO – Most of the Trinity track and field team closed their season out today at the Trinity Last Chance Meet. With home-cooked jambalaya from Addison Doss (Sugar Land, Texas / Logos Preparatory Academy)'s family and gifts for the seniors from Boone Partee (New Braunfels, Texas / New Braunfels)'s, the Tigers enjoyed a final bang to a successful season. Highlighted by Bocar Diagana (Edina, Minn. / Edina)'s school record in the men's triple jump to almost certainly book a trip to nationals, the last chance meet closed out the season for most Tigers, but was only a taste of more to come at Augustana and Outdoor Nationals.

Sprints
Annabelle Lanik (Sugar Land, Texas / St. John's) was second in the women's 100-meter with a 12.01. Her school record time of 11.89 is currently tied for 21st in the nation, putting her right on the bubble to qualify for NCAA DIII Outdoor Nationals. Nia Scott (Dickinson, Texas / Dickinson) took fourth in 12.40.

Hudson McCulley (Katy, Texas / St. Pius X) took 19th in the men's 100-meter in 11.14.

Orie Piken (Torrance, Calif. / West Torrance) took eighth in the men's 200-meter in 22.09, followed by McCulley in 11th with his time of 22.24.

Gallagher was ninth in the men's 400-meter in 49.86, while Ryan Forson (Dallas, Texas / Parish Episcopal School) took 11th in 50.53.

With Hamilton graduating, this evening was the last time the three fastest half-milers in school history would line up together, although Smith and Catton will take to the track next season.

Bryce Williams (San Antonio, Texas / Reagan) took fourth in the men's 800-meter in 1:56.56, followed by Alex Marquez (Leander, Texas / Leander) in sixth with a PR of 1:56.71.

Shreyus Naik (Austin, Texas / Westwood) set a PR of 4:11.92 to take eighth in the men's 1500-meter.

In her women's 3000-meter steeplechase debut, Emerson Voldan (Arlington, Texas / Mansfield Summit) recorded the fifth-best time in school history, taking the win in 11:07.07. Also in her debut, Anne Snider (Waco, Texas / Live Oak Classical) came in second in 11:48.02. Sophia Munoz (Austin, Texas / Austin) came in third with a PR of 11:52.96, her first time under 12 minutes.

George Mikhael (Livermore, Calif. / Granada) won the men's 3000-meter steeplechase in his debut of the event with a time of 10:06.87.

Elijah Bliss (Garden Ridge, Texas / Davenport) took second in the men's 3000-meter in 8:54.35. Positions four through eight were a sea of Tigers led by Brady Peifer (Odessa, Fla. / Steinbrenner) in 9:06.37 with Nicolas Hutchinson (Houston, Texas / Westside) (9:09.70), Luke Whitfill (Overland Park, Kan. / The Barstow School) (9:12.73), Dashiell Browne (Lantana, Texas / Guyer) (9:16.73) and James Rush (Iola, Texas / The Kinkaid School) (9:17.34) in tow.

Relays
The women's 4x100-meter squad of Scott, Thoning, Daredia and Lanik took the win in 47.52. Their best time of 46.78 currently sits 10th in the nation as they await their fate this coming week with the nation's final last chance meet.

The women's 4x400-meter team of Gurule, Emily Gnecco (Livermore, Calif. / Livermore), Alexandria Alcott (San Antonio, Texas / Great Hearts Northern Oaks) and Emerson Voldan (Arlington, Texas / Mansfield Summit) took second in a time of 4:37.52.

The fight for third in the men's 4x400-meter relay was movie-like between the three Tiger squads competing, as the team of Grant Grizzle (Buda, Texas / Johnson), Marquez, Trevor Kuhlman (Lake Jackson, Texas / Brazoswood) and Williams eked out the win in 3:36.70. They were followed in fourth by Partee, Duggan, Seth Jacobs () and Piken in 3:37.16. In fifth with a time of 3:37.25 was Henry Stevens (The Woodlands, Texas / Providence Classical School), Jatin Presse (Houston, Texas / Bellaire), Chase Vogler (Allen, Texas / Allen) and Forson. 

Jumps
Lanik won the women's long jump in 6.18m, matching her wind-legal PR from earlier this season. That mark has her currently in second in the nation with an all-but guaranteed ticket to nationals. Aleea Bridges (Albuquerque, N.M. / Albuquerque Academy) set a PR, taking eighth in 4.99m.

Austin Madrid (San Antonio, Texas / Great Hearts Northern Oaks) was 11th in the men's long jump with his mark of 6.12m.

Bridges tied for second in the women's triple jump with a big PR of 11.02m.

Diagana more than likely secured a spot at nationals with his meet-winning, school record mark of 14.81m in the men's triple jump. In only his second time jumping this season, he set a .01m PR to put himself 12th nationally.

Sophia Ortiz (Liberty Hill, Texas / Liberty Hill) won the women's high jump in 1.60m. Christian Mullaney (Palisade, Colo. / Palisade) took seventh in the men's high jump with his mark of 1.91m.

John Micheal Martin (Allen, Texas / Lovejoy) was sixth in the men's discus with his toss of 44.19m.

Looking Ahead
The Tigers will be represented at the Augustana Last Chance Meet on May 13 by Voldan in the women's 3000-meter steeplechase, and Kyle Fix (Wilmette, Ill. / New Trier) and Sebastian Langer (Houston, Texas / Clear Lake) in the men's 800-meter. All three will be looking for nationally qualifying marks.
