The 98th Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays delivered exactly what you’d expect from one of the country’s most storied invitational meets: fast times, out-of-state visitors testing themselves against Texas talent, and a few performances that will carry weight well into the championship season as district meets begin this week. Here’s a look at the high school distance action across all six events.

Boys 1600m

Holliday’s Noah Strohman added another chapter to what is already a historically decorated prep career, crossing in 4:10.22 to claim the win in extremely windy conditions. A four-time UIL 3A cross country state champion and three-time state champion in both the 1600m and 3200m on the track, Strohman signed with Oklahoma State University in February and is hunting a fourth state track title this spring. The race at Texas Relays was tight at the top: Austin Anderson’s Colby Huntress ran 4:10.69 for second, and IMG Academy’s Matthew Dodds — one of several out-of-state entrants — took third in 4:10.91. The entire podium was separated by less than a second, and the field as a whole showed impressive depth, with seven athletes finishing under 4:15.

The indoor national championship season wrapped up this weekend with Texas athletes making their presence felt across both the 2026 Nike Indoor Nationals in New York and the 2026 New Balance Nationals Indoor in Boston. From freshman breakthroughs to a historic relay performance and one remarkable kid who seemingly never sat down, it was a weekend worth cataloguing.

Boys Freshman 1 Mile

San Antonio’s Cyril Girgis led Texas freshmen in the Boys Freshman Mile at Nike, finishing 14th in 4:36.88. The two Southlake entries — Aadi Ghanchi (28th, 4:41.75) and Cameron Perez (32nd, 4:43.80) — ran well, and Denton’s Logan Smith rounded out the Texas contingent in 68th at 4:56.37.
