Year: Senior, Class of 2018
School: Rio Grande City High School
Analysis: Gracia is no stranger to the UIL 5A state meet. Looking for his third trip to be the charm in 2017, Gracia is one again going to have to tackle the state's other 5A studs. Gracia has a 15:29.10 5K PR and definitely has the potential to run with the top guys, but it will all depend on the off season training he put in over the summer. He will need to be more consistent in the big meets against the top competition. Gracia has proven to be able to run fast. He has 1:57.98 800m, 4:22.38 1600m, and 9:21.63 3200m speed that will enable him to keep up with the best, he'll just have to prove he will do so when the time comes. If he does it then you can lock him in for the awards stand in Round Rock.
