TEMPLE, TX — The Temple Tem-Cat varsity track and field team left no doubt who rules District 12-6A this week. Competing on their home turf at Wildcat Stadium on April 8-9, the Tem-Cats put on a clinic of speed, strength, and endurance to secure their fourth consecutive District Championship.

Temple finished the meet with a staggering 207 points, nearly doubling the score of runner-up Midway (106 points), while Killeen Shoemaker rounded out the top three with 82 points. The victory was a total team effort, marked by school records, multiple gold medals, and a massive wave of qualifiers advancing to the next round of the postseason.

The Tem-Cats’ podium was crowded all weekend, but a few performances stood out as historic:

Analisa Terry delivered the performance of the meet in the 3200 meters, taking 1st Place and setting a New School Record with a time of 11:49.58.

Damauria Nolan-Hemphill was a force of nature, capturing 1st Place in both the 100 meters (11.87) and the Long Jump (18'6 ¾"), while also anchoring the gold-medal 4x100 relay.
