CUERO, TEXAS — The Cuero Select Track Club is beaming with pride as one of its rising young athletes, Elijah S., secures a coveted spot in the upcoming state track meet in College Station, representing Cuero in the 10u boys 200-meter dash and also serving as an alternate for the 4×100-meter relay team.
Only ten years old and already leaving big impressions on the track, Elijah’s performance in recent regional qualifiers proved he’s not just fast—he’s fiercely focused. His impressive finish in the 200m earned him a solo lane at the state level, and his consistency and teamwork earned him a relay alternate position, a testament to his athletic range.
Track Club organizers say Elijah’s advancement reflects dedication beyond his years. “He shows up, works hard, encourages his teammates—he’s everything you hope for in a young athlete,” said one observer.
Parents, fellow runners, and community members alike are cheering Elijah on. His achievement adds to Cuero’s growing legacy of nurturing local athletic talent and building opportunities for youth through sports.
As College Station prepares to host the best of the best across Texas, Cuero is already celebrating. Elijah may be running solo in the 200m, but he carries an entire town’s pride with him.
🏁 Good luck, Elijah. Cuero is behind you all the way.
