STATE BRONZE MEDALISTS! SUNDOWN ROUGHETTES! It’s hard to put into words the pride we feel as we celebrate our Sundown Roughettes Cross Country Team and their well-earned 3rd Place finish at the UIL State Cross Country Meet in Round Rock! What an incredible way to cap off the 2026 Cross Country season! Our Roughettes finished as District Champions, Regional Runners-Up, and STATE BRONZE MEDALISTS! At Regionals, we finished behind the eventual State Champions from Gruver. Congratulations to them on an outstanding season! There are so many moving parts behind the scenes that contribute to a successful season, so allow us to pull back the curtain and recognize some incredible people! Coach Dakotah Watson has done an outstanding job of motivating, pushing, encouraging, and preparing our Roughettes throughout the season! His dedication to these young ladies extends far beyond race day. Coach April Biggs has been right by his side, providing that extra encouragement, guidance, and love that makes such a difference! Our lone competing senior, Kaytlin Clausen, led the charge and shared some invaluable knowledge, wisdom, and leadership in preparation for today’s meet! But we would be remiss if we didn’t recognize two other seniors who have been a HUGE part of this team’s success. Addie Hord and Kassady Rodgers helped lay the foundation for what this team accomplished! Although injuries kept them sidelined throughout the season, their leadership never stopped. They continued pushing, encouraging, and supporting their teammates every step of the way. That is what being a TEAM is all about! And what a day for our runners! Karter Hord had a MONSTER day! Avyian McGlasson dug deep and delivered a tremendous performance! Our freshmen, Raegan Reynolds and Jazlyn Huerta, stepped up on the biggest stage and took care of business! Elizah Lopez had a total redemption season after battling a tough freshman year, and Karmindy Townsend capped off her junior season with a BANG! We also want to recognize our alternates, Emma Peña, Maddy Medrano, and Lilly Reaves! These young ladies stayed hungry, competed for their spots, and pushed their teammates throughout the season. They held one another accountable and helped make this team better every single day. Their contributions are just as much a part of this bronze medal finish! A huge thank you to Kadyn Belew for her genuine love and support for her teammates as manager. To our families, friends, and community members who made the trip to Round Rock, THANK YOU! Your support means more than you know. We are grateful for everyone who has cheered these young ladies on throughout the season, and we pray for safe travels home for all! District Champions. Regional Runners-Up. STATE BRONZE MEDALISTS! These young ladies have represented Sundown with grit, determination, heart, and an unwavering commitment to one another. The medal is something they will cherish, but the relationships, sacrifices, and lessons learned along the way will last far longer! Love Others. Work Hard. Embrace Excellence. Congratulations to our Sundown Roughettes! We are incredibly PROUD of you!
