The Temple Tem-Cat Track & Field team has officially solidified its status as a bona fide dynasty. Fresh off capturing their fourth consecutive district championship, the Tem-Cats put an exclamation point on their stellar 2026 season as the District 12-6A All-District awards were announced.

Temple dominated the postseason awards, taking home the lion's share of individual superlatives, top-tier team selections, and crucial academic honors.

Leading the charge for the Tem-Cats was Damauria Nolan-Hemphill, who earned the prestigious title of District MVP for her exceptional contributions to the team's historic run.

MVP of Throws: Bella Jenkins (16 points)
