Panhandle sweeps UIL Region 1-2A track and field meet, State starts May 12

AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - The Panhandle Panthers boys and girls program won the team title for the second straight year at the UIL Region 1-2A track and field meet held at West Texas A&M.

Panhandle senior Macklynn “Mackie” Land earned three gold medals on Saturday in the 400 meters, 200 meters and mile relay. The Texas Tech signee ran a personal best in the 200 in 23.87 and PR in the 400 in 54.98. The 2-time 400 meter State Champion (2019, 2021) is looking to defend her title.

”There’s been a lot of talk before the race that I’m not capable of running :54 and that I’ll never be able to break :54, but today I really just wanted to show out and show people that I can run :54 and that I can do it,” said Land. “Just coming out here and showing everybody that we are who we were last year and that we’re never going to back down.”

The UIL State Meet is set for Thursday, May 12-14 at Mike A. Myers Stadium in Austin.
