Emory Sims Sprinted To The 3A Girls 100m Win In 11.64

Emory Sims won the UIL 3A Girls 100m

The 2026 UIL Girls 3A 100-meter final was a fast, wind-aided sprint battle that rewarded explosive starts and the ability to hold top-end speed through the line. With a strong +3.1 tailwind assisting performances across the board, the race featured multiple athletes entering with comparable season marks in the 12.20-12.30 range, setting up a tightly contested final where execution out of the blocks proved decisive.

From the gun, lane six immediately made an impact as senior Emory Sims from Crockett exploded to the front with a blistering start. Known for her regional form (11.79 entering), Sims carried that momentum perfectly into the state final, separating herself early and never relinquishing control. Her acceleration phase set the tone for the entire race, and once she reached top speed, she demonstrated the stride frequency and composure needed to maintain separation all the way to the finish line.
