This week, I will be breaking down the different track and field classifications competing inside the San Antonio area. In each preview, the top boys and girls athletes and teams will be highlighted and Tuesday is featuring the 5A classification.
There are three full 5A track and field districts in the San Antonio area. The 5A level is particularly intriguing this year because the cross country teams were so strong. The Boerne boys finished as the State runner-ups while the Smithson Valley girls were State champions. In addition, both Boerne Champion teams placed well at the State meet. Down the road, the District 26-5A girls championship meet should be the most competitive of any district in the city.
