2025 UIL 3A boys 300-meter hurdles
The 2025 UIL Boys 3A 300-meter hurdles final was a thrilling showcase of resilience and speed, headlined by Aiden Martinez of San Antonio Great Hearts Monte Vista . Coming into the race as the favorite after his earlier victory in the 110 hurdles, Martinez faced a strong early challenge from Cord Zamzow of Goliad in lane 3. Zamzow surged to a slight lead as they rounded the curve, with Martinez matching him stride for stride, both athletes nearly in sync as they cleared the hurdles at the top of the bend.
However, Martinez's determination and superior finishing speed shone through on the final straight. With smooth, powerful strides and flawless hurdle technique, he surged ahead, leaving no doubt as he crossed the line first in a blazing 36.82 seconds - capping off a remarkable hurdle double and cementing his dominance on the state stage. Zamzow followed with an impressive silver-medal finish in 37.41, while Malik Thomas of East Bernard, another standout from the 110 hurdles, claimed bronze in 38.15. Martinez's performance not only thrilled the crowd but also underscored his status as one of Texas' premier high school hurdlers.
