After countless practices and endless laps, the high school track careers of seniors Sydni Wilkins and Jack Voehringer are officially over with Wilkins placing fourth in the 3200m run at the state meet while Voehringer finished fifth in the 800m run.

Seniors Sydni Wilkins and Jack Voehringer represented Redhawks track at the state meet held at the Mike Myers Stadium in Austin Friday and Saturday, with Wilkins finishing fourth in the 3200m run and setting a personal and school record, while Voehringer finished fifth in the 800m run.

Though both of their days in high school are numbered, with graduation taking place on May 18, the memories made at state are one Wilkins will cherish forever.

“I am very satisfied with the results,” Wilkins said. “This meet was an incredible opportunity, as throughout the meet many records were set and I got to see and compete against some of the best athletes in the country.”

Similarly, Voehringer believes that his final race as a Redhawk was an almost cinematic experience.

“I ran a fairly smart race, going out and just racing as hard as I could,” Voehringer said. “I have never raced in front of that many people before, but I handeled it the best that I could. The environment was everything you would want for a state championship. It was really surreal and exciting.”
