District 2 Track Stars Rewrite National and State Leaderboards at Coaches Classic

Thomas Hyslip

The Bob Jenkins Coaches Classic District 2 meet delivered a high-stakes preview of the state championships on Saturday, March 21, 2026, as the region’s elite converged on Spartanburg. On a day where every tenth of a second mattered, York and Lancaster County schools asserted their dominance, combining for a slew of gold medals and national-caliber performances.

The story of the day was the sheer volume of elite times crossing the wire. South Pointe’s Devin Isley delivered a performance for the record books with a blistering 10.57 in the 100m dash, officially moving him into the U.S. Top 50 rankings for the 2026 season. In the field, Fort Mill’s Mia Williams soared to a 5.74m mark in the Long Jump, securing the second best jump in South Carolina this year.

The hurdles also produced fireworks, with Laurens’ Zakarion Simpson and Dorman’s Rebecca Okebe both clocking U.S. Top 10 times in the 400m Hurdles. Meanwhile, Fort Mill’s distance crew put on a clinic, led by Connor Demmerle’s 4:21.01 in the 1600m and Quinlan O’Toole’s sub-2:00 performance in the 800m, both earning SC Top 10 honors.
