11 El Paso-area track and field athletes punch tickets to state meet

EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – At the UIL Region I track and field meets held around the state of Texas this weekend, 11 El Paso-area athletes in five different classifications punched tickets to state.

The state meet will be held May 12-14 in Austin, Texas. Below are the Borderland athletes that will be representing their schools at state in two weeks’ time.

Check out the kick on the final stretch of the 6A Region I 1600m by Coronado’s Luis Pastor to secure a spot at #UILState in a couple weeks. By my count, Pastor is one of 11 El Paso- area track and field competitors to advance to state.
