Connor McGrath used a strong kick to get medal. Boerne Champion’s Anastacia Gonzales...

Veterans Memorial’s Kallie Morrison, center, competes Friday, May 13, 2022 at Myers Stadium in Austin in the 200 meter dash during the UIL track state finals. She finished eighth with a time of 24.99 seconds.AUSTIN - There was nothing to suggest Alamo Heights senior Connor McGrath would find his way on the podium at the UIL state track and field championships Friday night.

“I had my dreams because I knew I had it in me to run a really fast time,” McGrath said. “And based on how everyone else did, I thought, ‘Who knows?’ Maybe there’s a chance.’ But, to actually do it is pretty crazy.” Boerne Champion senior Anastacia Gonzales capped her remarkable high school career in grueling fashion by competing in the girls 5A 3,200, 800 and 1,600 runs.

Gonzales almost nabbed a medal in the 800 run, but Katy Foster’s Tiyan Ogbiede passed her late for third. Gonzales, the San Antonio area’s record holder in the 800 finished fourth Saturday with a 2:12.11. A year ago, Gonzales won gold in the 1,600 and bronze in the 800. This year, she added the 3,200 and was the only San Antonio area athlete to compete in all three events.
