Region I-4A/5A track: Estacado boys 800 relay returns to state; Snyder's Castillo wins 400
By Stephen Garcia, Lubbock Avalanche-Journal,
2024-04-21A year ago, when three freshmen made up the team, it was a pleasant surprise when Estacado qualified for the state track meet in the 800-meter relay.
With that experience, a return trip to Austin became expected. Even if the group was breaking in a new member.
Devoryea Boyd, Cedric Ross, Donivan Torrez and James Bozeman finished in 1 minute, 30.09 seconds at the Region I-4A meet Saturday at Lowrey Field to repeat the feat. It was a tight race until the anchor Bozeman secured second place behind Springtown (1:28.94).
Boyd, the newcomer of the bunch, ran the opening leg. He admitted there was pressure teaming with three guys who experienced such success together.
"It was a lot of pressure knowing that they went (to state) the previous year," Boyd said. "So I was just like, shoot, we've got to go back this year. We just have to go out there and run hard. … I knew once I gave it to Ced, he was gonna go and we were gonna be good."
The four have only been together a few meets. Since then they've won district and area titles. They said it was an instant connection when Boyd stepped into his role with the three returners.
"Really, since we first started," Ross said. "We all had trust in each other. From us all being football players, it's just easier. We already got that connection with each other — that brotherhood."
Ross and Bozeman will also await their potential status as a wildcard entry to state. Ross finished third in the 100 in 10.98, and Bozeman was third in the 200 in 22.80.
They're guaranteed at least one event, and that was the standard from the beginning.
"We were just really raising the bar, knowing our potential," Ross said. "From us going with three freshmen, we knew we could do it again."
Snyder's Jay Castillo earns fourth state-meet berth
All Jay Castillo knows is reaching the state meet, and that didn't stop this season.
The Snyder senior will make his fourth trip to Austin in the 400 after winning the event Saturday in 49.12. He beat out Krum's Zach Paul down the final 100 meters to secure the region championship.
Even if state meets have become old hat, Castillo said he appreciates every one.
"It's a blessing even more," Castillo said. "A lot of people don't even get out of (regionals)."
Castillo said the competition from Paul (49.25) was a nice tuneup for state. The Snyder runner will go for his first state medal after finishing fourth last season.
"Just a great mindset (is key)," Castillo said. "I've been there before, so knowing how to control myself under pressure and to just have fun."
