Mustang Pride: Rising Senior Aiden Martinez Qualifies for Junior Olympics

Lutheran High School of San Antonio is proud to announce that rising senior Aiden Martinez has qualified for the Junior Olympics in track and field, marking a significant milestone in his athletic career. 

Aiden ran the 200m in 22.11 seconds, which was a personal record (PR). He also PR’d in the 400m this meet and missed qualifying for Junior Olympics by 1/10th of a second in the 100 meter. 

We are so proud of him, as this is his first club track season, and he’s competing with the best of the best (one of those being fellow LHS track star Andrew Wright). Aiden's humble approach has him not yet ready to consider himself as “one of the fast guys.”

He is especially grateful for his teammate Andrew and Coach Brook Wright, as their support and guidance have been crucial in his pursuit of excellence and reaching his potential. 
​
The Junior Olympics represent one of the most prestigious competitions for high school athletes across the nation, bringing together the best young talent from coast to coast. Aiden's qualification comes as the culmination of a stellar track season that has showcased his dedication, talent, and pursuit of excellence. Throughout the season, he has consistently demonstrated the perseverance  that sets apart truly exceptional student-athletes.
