Boys Track and Field

Class 2A Rochelle Sectional

Plano’s Tristan Meszaros set a school record in the 100-meter dash of 10.74 seconds, leading the Reapers’ state qualifiers at the Class 2A Rochelle Sectional.

Meszaros also qualified in the 200 with a time of 22.06 seconds. He finished second to Sycamore’s Aidan Wyzard in both events.

“Aidan pushed me along. The competition played into more than the weather,” Meszaros said.

The team of Johnny Espino, Tim Young, Liam Schoensee and Meszaros also qualified in the 4x100 (third place, 43.24 seconds) and 4x200 relays (second, 1:30.77).

“I told our kids Sycamore and Sterling are great teams and just run the stagger and keep pace with them,” Plano coach Andrew DeBolt said. “It helps that our fourth leg (Meszaros) is a stud.”

Sandwich’s Simeion Harris qualified for state in the 400, finishing third in 51.09 seconds.

“Everyone here pushed me,” Harris said.

Sandwich’s Peter Popp (fourth, 15.63 meters) and Luis Murillo (fifth, 15.09) qualified in the shot put and Jacob Ross (third, 4.33 meters) in the pole vault.

“I’m used to jumping in mediocre weather,” Ross said. “It was fun competing with [Sycamore’s] Braeden [Shaner] and [Rochelle’s] Andrew [Nuyen]. Goal is to get a medal downstate.”
