Coppell High School senior Maya Easterwood capped another outstanding cross country season with a 9th place finish at the UIL State Cross Country Meet, clocking a time of 17:58. Easterwood qualified for state for the fourth consecutive year and earned her third straight state medal, an impressive accomplishment shared by few runners. Teammate Sidharth Kerthipati also represented Coppell at state, finishing 96th with a time of 16:23 and gaining valuable experience for the future. The Cowboys and Cowgirls celebrated an exceptional season that included three district championships and regional qualifications for both teams, with two runners advancing to the state meet. Head Coach Landon Wren praised the determination and growth of both athletes and looks forward to building on the program's success with a strong group of returning runners next season.
