SAN ANGELO, TX — High School track season is in full swing, and the biggest event at San Angelo Stadium this Spring will be held this weekend. The 65th Annual San Angelo Relays will kick off on Friday, March 22, and run through Saturday, March 23.
The two-day annual event occurs at San Angelo Stadium and includes track events such as the hurdles, relays, and sprints. Field events include pole vault, long jump, triple jump, shot put discus, and high jump. Day 1 usually starts right after lunch, and Day 2 begins the next morning.
SAISD puts on the meet every year, benefiting not only student-athletes but also our local economy. High School track and field teams from around the state, some as far as the metroplex and El Paso. According to SAISD, over one thousand people attended San Angelo Relays in 2023.

The meet is vital in preparing our local student-athletes for their district meets later in the season, and several record-setting performances happen at San Angelo Stadium every year. In 2023, Jacob English, a recent Central High School Graduate, set the Central High School and San Angelo Relays record for High Jump in front of a crowd. That performance, along with others, helped him earn a track and field scholarship with Angelo State University.
This year, our COVER1 team will be at the relays to bring results, highlights, and several interviews with the student-athletes who compete. Come out and support our local track and field stars as they showcase their talents this weekend.
