THREE RIVERS – Members of the Trojan summer track program saved their best efforts for the last meet of the short season.

“The little Trojans have greatly improved in our short three-week season. Everyone left with a medal for sixth place or better this past Friday at Three Rivers,” said summer track coach Linda Luna.

Three young athletes also competed at the AAU qualifying meet in Corpus Christi last weekend with good results. Carlos Escamilla, in the sub-midget division, captured two first place finishes and one third place spot to qualify for the regional meet at Converse Judson that began on Thursday and runs through Saturday.

Escamilla won the 100-meter dash in 13.77 and was also first in the long jump with a leap of 14-3. He finished third in the 200-meter dash with a time of 29.35.

Marco Escamilla was fifth in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:31 and was eighth in the 400-meter event at 1:04. Marco Escamilla competed in the sub-youth division in Corpus Christi. Derrick Carroll was fourth in the 800-meter run in the youth division with a time of 2:22.

If the trio does well at Converse this week, they have a chance to advance to the Junior Olympics national meet in Houston later this summer.
