What happened: Greenwood’s 2026 track and field season was one of the most complete in program history, with the Rangers and Rangerettes producing school records, area championships, and multiple qualifiers into the UIL Class 4A postseason.

Across sprints, distance, hurdles, relays, and field events, Greenwood consistently performed at a high level throughout the season and advanced multiple athletes to the Region I-4A meet in Lubbock.

The big picture: On the boys’ side, Dylan Payton set school records in the 300m hurdles (37.23) and long jump (23’4.75) while also contributing in sprints and relays. Andrick Rodriguez delivered top-end speed in the 400m with a 48.06, while Jack Ledford broke the school record in the 3200m with a 10:10.15.

In the relays, the boys’ 4x200m team also set a school record with a time of 1:26.16. Jayden Colvert led with a 168-11 in discus and a 55-0 in shot put, while Austin Snodgrass cleared 6-4 in the high jump.

On the girls’ side, Andree Baer set a school record in the 300m hurdles (45.24) while also scoring in high jump and relays. Jazlyn Sigalas broke the school record in the 400m with a 59.66, while Sidnee Click (100m, 12.23) and Kealani Weeks (200m, 23.77) both captured area titles.

The girls’ 4x200m team set a school record at 1:41.51, while the 4x400m team broke another record with a 3:55.71, ranking No. 1 in the region and No. 4 in the state. Graycee Underhill won the area title in the pole vault with a 9-0.

What’s next: Greenwood will advance multiple athletes to the Region I-4A Track and Field Meet on May 1–29, at Lowrey Field in Lubbock. Athletes qualified by finishing in the top four at the Area Meet on April 17. From there, athletes will compete for a spot at the UIL Class 4A state meet.
