On Thursday May 12 and Friday May 13, two CPHS seniors won gold in the State Track meet in Austin. Senior Kiki Onwukaife took first in shot put, her farthest throw being 45’4.52.” For Onwukaife, this was her fourth time going to State for shot put and her second time winning gold.
“I had made it a goal of mine at the beginning of the year, it was the last meet of my high school career and I wanted to make it count,” said Onwukaife.
Javelin Guidry competed in the boys 100-meter dash and finished in first with a time of 10.41 seconds.
“I was a little nervous when we started, but I was confident that I was going to win,” Guidry said. “When I was running I kept thinking ‘relax, relax, relax.’ After the race, when I went to see my time, I was so excited and happy to see how well I had done.”
Nine members of the track team went to Regionals in late April, including juniors Chika Onyia and Holly Ruckle. Onyia competed in two track and two field events, the field events were the long jump and high jump, the track events were the 4×1 and 4×2 relays. Onyia placed fourth in both the high jump and long jump, and the team placed sixth in the 4×1 relay.
“It was awesome to get to Regionals, but since I’d gone both freshman and sophomore year I really wanted to work hard and go to State,” said Onyia. “I was really sad that I didn’t qualify, but in high jump I jumped higher than I ever had before.”
Ruckle competed in the 4×400 meter relay and the team ran their fastest time all year at 4.00.07 and came in third. Ruckle ran a 59 second 400 meters.
“Going into the event I was very focused, I really wanted to help my team, but I was also pretty nervous since I had decided to switch which leg I ran from first to second right before,” Ruckle said. “When I went to Regionals I was excited to know my season wasn’t over, especially since last year I only made it to Districts,” it was disappointing that I didn’t make it to state, but I’m still so proud of myself and the team.”

“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)

Yearbook won 43, newspaper won 14 and broadcast took home nine. “I think [the ILPC awards] are a great way to give the kids some acknowledgement for all of their hard work,” newspaper and yearbook adviser Paige Hert said. “They typically spend the year covering everyone else’s big moments, so it’s really cool for them to be celebrated so many times and in so many different ways.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/edited-ILPC.jpg)

"I feel like it’s not really appreciated in America as much, but [tennis] is a really competitive and mentally challenging sport,” Nguyen said. “I’m really level-headed and can keep my cool during a match, and that helps me play a bit better under pressure.” Photo by Kyra Cox](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/hasun.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)
