THREE MUSTANGS FIND THEIR NEXT CHAPTER

Wednesday, April 22 was signing day at LHS!  We want to thank each and every coach, parent, teacher, and teammate who poured into these young men, and we were excited to celebrate with them as they officially put pen to paper and wrote the first line of their college athletic careers. Aiden Martinez, Andrew Wright, and Asher Biedinger each signed today, carrying the Mustang name with them as they step into the next great race, meet, and season of their lives. We couldn't be more proud.
 
AIDEN MARTINEZ | Track & Field
Signing to compete at Mississippi College
 
Aiden Martinez has spent four years turning the track at LHS into his proving ground, and the results speak for themselves. At the 2025 TAPPS State Championships alone, he claimed silver in the 100m, bronze in the 200m, and another silver in the 400m — a remarkable three-event performance at the highest level of Texas private school competition. And that was just the spring. As an AAU Junior Olympic Qualifier, Aiden has consistently shown that he competes with and beats the best in the nation.
 
Beyond his individual medals, Aiden was a crucial anchor on the LHS 4x400 relay team that set a school record alongside teammates Reed, Luciano, and Andrew — a mark that now stands in the LHS record books. He also contributed to the team's 4th-place finish at the 2025 TAPPS State Championships, a result that required every runner to give everything they had.
 
Aiden's relentless work ethic, his clutch performances under pressure, and his heart for his teammates have defined his time as a Mustang. Mississippi College gains a fiercely competitive sprinter with a proven championship pedigree.
 
Highlights:
• 100m – 2nd Place, TAPPS State Championships 2025
• 200m – 3rd Place, TAPPS State Championships 2025
• 400m – 2nd Place, TAPPS State Championships 2025
• AAU Junior Olympic Qualifier
• LHS 4x400 School Record (with Reed, Luciano & Andrew)
• LHS Team 4th Place Finish, TAPPS State 2025

ANDREW WRIGHT | Track & Field
Signing to compete at Princeton University

There are superlatives, and then there is Andrew Wright. By any measure, Andrew's high school career stands among the most decorated in the history of Lutheran High School track. A six-time TAPPS State Champion, a two-time TAPPS Athlete of the Championship Meet, a three-time National Champion, and an eight-time All-American — placing in the top six in the entire United States — Andrew's résumé is extraordinary. He is also a Nike-Sponsored Professional Athlete, a distinction that speaks to his national profile before he ever steps onto a college track.
 
Most recently, Andrew captured gold and a meet record at the 2026 Nike Indoor National Championships, along with a bronze medal — a performance that served as perhaps the finest exclamation point on an already legendary prep career. His 2024 TAPPS State Championship sweep — gold in the 100m, 200m, and 400m, along with Athlete of the Meet honors — was an amazing testament to the work he has put in during high school. 
 
Andrew will take his speed, his faith, and his incomparable drive to Princeton University in the Ivy League. The Tigers gain one of the most gifted sprint athletes to come out of Texas in recent memory. We have no doubt he will make LHS proud in every lane he runs.
 
Highlights:
• 6× TAPPS State Champion
• 2× TAPPS Athlete of the Championship Meet
• 3× National Champion
• 8× All-American (Top 6 in the USA)
• Nike-Sponsored Professional Athlete
• 2026 Nike Indoor National Championships – Gold (Meet Record) & Bronze
• 2025 Nike Outdoor National Championships – Gold (Meet Record)
• 2024 TAPPS State Championships – Gold in 100m, 200m & 400m; Athlete of the Meet
• LHS 4x400 School Record (with Aiden, Reed & Luciano)

ASHER BIEDINGER | Basketball
Signing to play at Palo Alto College
 
When Asher Biedinger arrived as a freshman, he made an immediate statement: four straight years on varsity. Over those four seasons, he built a great resume. His 771 points scored, 802 rebounds (3rd most in LHS history), 157 blocks (4th most in LHS history), and 200 assists represent a complete presence on both ends of the floor — the kind of player who changes the game without always being the loudest name on the scoresheet.
 
Asher was recognized for his excellence by his peers and coaches alike, earning First Team All-District honors three times and Second Team All-District once. His four years of varsity experience and his size, skill, and basketball IQ make him exactly the type of player who can make an impact at the college level.
 
Asher signs with Palo Alto College, where he will continue to grow as a player and a person. The Mustang community has watched him develop from a promising freshman into an anchor of the program, and we know his best basketball is still ahead of him.
 
Highlights:
• 4 Years on Varsity
• 771 Career Points
• 802 Rebounds – 3rd Most in LHS History
• 157 Blocks – 4th Most in LHS History
• 200 Assists
• 3× First Team All-District
• 1× Second Team All-District

Thank you to the administrators, teachers, parents, and students who invested in these three young men over the past four years. The harvest you see today was planted long ago by faithful, loving hands.
