Region 2-6A
Duncanville track and field was good last year.
The D'Ville boys took second place at the 2023 UIL 6A Track and Field Championships. Everyone in the country knows they have the speed again this season as they have run consistently fast this year and dropped a US No. 2 all-time performance.
Many may not remember that the D'Ville girls were pretty darn good last year as well. They are the reigning defending state team champions as they racked up enough points with their three sprint relays.
Both Panther teams put themselves in good position today as they both won two relays at the UIL Region 2-6A Championships with second place finishes in a third relay.
The Duncanville girls won the 4x100 relay with a time of 45.91, just 0.02 ahead of the defending state champions Klein Forest and their 45.93.
On the boys side, a day after six teams went sub 41-seconds, it was Duncanville who won the 4x100 relay as well with a time of 40.53. Mansfield finished the race in a flurry with a time of 41.54 for second.
