This year’s Zimmerly Relays were set two weeks later in the season to allow local basketball players to get ready to compete, which was something the Socorro boys head track coach Cody Lee was happy about.

“I think it benefited the girls. I think the girls’ coaches had an opportunity to get most of their girls out there,” Lee said. “I was really pleased with the meet.

Isaiah Ocampo is totally focused on his form as he lands in the long jump competition.

Lee was also pleased with top performer Braden Mounyo who continued to add to his state qualifications, dropping his times and increasing his marks in field events.

Mounyo had first places in the 110 and 300-meter hurdles and pole vault, second in the triple jump and fourth in the 200 meters.

One of the meet’s most impressive performances was by 8th grader Ben Watkins who ran a 2:52.62 in the 800 meters, and the next best local finish was a 4:22.

“For him to just be thrown out there and run a better time than he did in the junior high meet on Tuesday was impressive to me,” Lee said.

Results from the Zimmerly Relays include only Magdalena and Socorro athletes. We have included a list of the 2023 qualifying standards for the state track and field meet for your review.
