🚀 Our Lady Runnin’ Rockets Cross Country Team capped off an incredible season with a 4th Place team finish at the 2026 TCSAAL Middle School Premier State Championship in Georgetown, Texas!
Our Lady Rockets competed against some of the best runners in the state and represented RSA with determination, toughness, and pride!
State Championship Results:
🏃‍♀️ Sofia Trevino – 29th
🏃‍♀️ Jackie Salinas – 32nd
🏃‍♀️ Camila De La Cruz – 33rd
🏃‍♀️ Amariah Franco – 40th
🏃‍♀️ Allison Sanchez – 49th
🏃‍♀️ Ximena Hernandez – 51st
🏃‍♀️ Kezia Coventry – 57th

A special recognition goes to our two 8th graders, Amariah and Ximena. 🧡🧡
All season long, they led by example. They showed our younger runners what it means to work hard, stay committed, support their teammates, and represent RSA the right way. Their leadership helped set the standard for this team and leaves a great example for our returning Lady Rockets to follow.
Congratulations to our runners, coaches and families on an outstanding season and a 4th-place finish in the state!
Regional Runner-Ups. 4th in State. Proud Lady Rockets.
