“This year in Wichita, we accomplished goals that we knew were within our reach, and I couldn’t feel more proud of the kids that were there representing our school and the way they each performed in their events,” head coach Jillian Scott said on the Ulysses Tigers Facebook page. “From each competitor, to each of my alternates, you put together one of the best weekends at the state track meet of my coaching career and I will be forever grateful for you!”

Natalya Sifuentes of UHS sang the National Anthem to open the state meet, as well.

“What a cool experience for her and she did awesome,” Scott said.

The girls 4x100 relay team of Sifuentes, Denise Aguilar Cano, Erisbelie Alvarado and Aja Ysac set the school record with a time of49.47 seconds.
