Tompkins finished with 60 points, just one point behind second place Duncanville and nine points behind Atascocita, which took first place at the meet. The Falcons were led by Jayden Keys, who in the final meet of his high school career took home the Athlete of the Meet Awaard and took gold in the long jump, gold in the 300-meter hurdles and second in the 110-meter hurdles while also being part of a Tompkins 400-meter relay team that finished fourth overall. Jhase McMillan medaled in the 200-meter dash, finishing third, while Blake Hamilton finished fifth to help secure the Falcons third place spot.
