“There’s been times [when] there’s so much clothing stored here and it gets overwhelming, so I end up having to sleep somewhere else in the house,” Mckinney said.](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/DSC_0951-1200x800.jpg)

Lucas broke the school’s 18-year-old record for the 500 freestyle at regionals and again at state with a time of 4:58.63. “I’d had my eye on that 500 record since my freshman year, so I was really excited to see if I could get it at regionals or districts,” Lucas said. “ State is always a really fun experience and medaling for the first time was really great. It was a very very tight race, [so] I was a bit surprised [that I medaled]. [There were] a lot of fast girls at the meet in general, [and] it was like a dogfight back and forth, back and forth.” Photo by Kaydence Wilkinson](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Kaydence-2.7-23-edit-2.jpg)

Cross Country Speeds to State
Senior Tyler Grendel breaks out into a sprint at the beginning of his race at state. The CPHS varsity cross country team advanced to state that took place on Nov. 12 after placing second at their regional meet.

The CPHS girls cross country team finished off their Regional meet in second place, qualifying for state, which took place on Nov. 12. A member of the boys team, senior Tyler Grendel qualified for state as well as an individual. He competed with the girls team who consisted of Sarah Pia, Candy Conde de Frankenberg, Brea Givens, Nicole Driskell, Sophia Roach, Lina Allick, Gracie Hall and Jaida Lyles. Although the team had the privilege to advance to state, their performances were not up to par, according to senior Candy Conde de Frankenberg.
“I don’t think we did our best at state,” Conde de Frankenberg said. “But we were given the opportunity to run which was a great experience for everyone, and I couldn’t have made it there without my whole team.”
The team worked hard all season to get to state, which required them to get up in the early hours of the morning multiple times a week.
“We prepared for those two races all season,” Conde de Frankenberg said. “From June all the way up to July, we practiced six times a week. The training was hard and tiring at times, and waking up at 6:30 a.m. wasn’t my favorite thing, but it was definitely worth it. All the hard work paid off.”
A number of personal records (PR) were made by some of the runners, which benefited the team as well as the individuals.
“Overall this was definitely my best season,” senior Brea Givens said. “I ran a new PR in the 5K. And this season was one of the varsity’s best seasons because most people set their PR’s this year, and there was a great bond between them.”
Senior Tyler Grendel said he was proud to represent Cedar Park at state by being the only boy to advance and he agreed with Frankenberg and Givens that it was a successful season.
“I felt proud to be able to represent Cedar Park,” Grendel said. “At the same time I was sad that my teammates couldn’t join me because they had put so much hard work in. I think our team did a great overall this season after coming back from such a disappointing season last year and got back to work and gave it our best.”

The event has been held for the past two years and is designed to raise money for the baseball program in a fun way. “We’re a baseball team, so people love to compete,” Cuevas said. “So we figured we better do something that gets [their] attention. They want to compete. It’s not a hard sport to do, and we have all different [skill] levels [of participants].” Photo by Henry Mueller](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Henry-715-1200x900.jpg)
