Pecos Athletics -

PECOS, TX — Pecos track and field made the trip to Monahans on February 27th and came back with medals in hand, turning in one of the program's more complete performances of the young season. Across the sprints, distance races, relays, and field events, Eagle athletes competed hard from first heat to last flight — and the results showed it.

On the Track

Daniella Gonzalez took care of business in the Women's Varsity 100 Meters, crossing the line first with a time of 12.93 to claim the event title. She doubled back in the 200 Meters for a third-place finish at 28.00 — a strong two-event day that puts her among the names to watch heading into district. Teammate Azerlynn Perez also competed in both sprint events, gaining valuable varsity experience.

On the men's side, Cody Saldana ran the 400 Meters in 53.29 to win the event outright — a time that stands up anywhere in West Texas. Saldana was one of four Eagle men to place in that race, with Ronaldo Zaleta adding a seventh-place finish. Kian Aguilar had one of the day's quietly impressive performances, claiming silver in the 800 Meters at 2:03.65 and later anchoring the 4x400 squad. Amare Griffin earned runner-up honors in the Men's Varsity 100 at 11.52.

Jayden Hernandez led the distance crew with a fourth-place finish in the 1600 (4:44.74) and sixth in the 3200 (10:26.96). Ian Salas and Aiden Barragan provided depth in both events, with Barragan placing ninth in the mile and ninth in the two-mile.

Relay Success

The relay events were a bright spot throughout the day. The Men's Varsity 4x100 team of Joshua Carbajal, Amare Griffin, Mario Sanchez, and Eli Ramirez placed third at 45.19. That same group — shuffled into a 4x200 lineup with Kolt Ramirez and Kian Aguilar — added a fourth in the 4x200 (1:37.30). Saldana, Aguilar, Ramirez, and Ramirez then closed out a 3rd-place finish in the 4x400 at 3:39.69.

The Women's JV relay team was one of the day's standout stories. Aizlynn Herrera, Jizelle Campos, Bailey Garcia, and Madalynn Matta ran to silver in the 4x200 at 1:58.95 and followed that with a fourth-place finish in the 4x100 at 56.09. Campos also pulled off a first-place finish in the Women's JV 200 Meters individually at 29.82 — a busy and productive day for a group that looks ready to move up.

In the Field

Zaiden Hinojos made his presence known in the throwing events, taking third in Discus with a throw of 108' 11" and placing ninth in Shot Put. Jordan Martinez earned fourth in the JV Boys Shot Put at 33' 5", leading a group that included Zayden Silva and Blake Noren. On the women's side, Reagan Devivo picked up third in the JV Shot Put at 25' 9", with Camila Estavillo also placing eighth. Alejandra Lujan-Acosta rounded out the day with a third-place finish in the Women's JV 300 Hurdles at 57.02.

Saturday was a good measuring stick — and Pecos measured up. The coaching staff will have plenty to build on as district approaches, and if this meet is any indication, the Eagles are right on schedule.
