The DeSoto High School boys track and field team is off to the races this season, competing in some of the region’s most competitive meets. Under the leadership of head coach William Henderson and his experienced coaching staff, the Eagles are looking to build momentum as they push toward the district, regional, and state championships. 

The season opened with the DeSoto Relays on Feb. 1 at Eagle Stadium, giving the team an early chance to compete on their home track. Following the DeSoto Relays, the Eagles competed in the Cedar Hill Opener (Feb. 8) and the Mansfield Maberry Invitational (Feb. 14), where they faced strong competition from area schools. 

With key meets like the Nike Invitational (Feb. 22 at Eagle Stadium) which has now been postponed till a later date and the Carter Ritter Relays (March 1 at Red Oak HS), DeSoto’s scholar athletes will continue fine-tuning their skills. Select varsity athletes will also compete at the Bluebonnet HS Invitational at Texas A&M (March 7-8) and the Prairie View Relays (March 22 at PVA&M), providing valuable experience against top-tier competitors. 

The postseason begins with the district championships (April 2 and 4 at Lancaster’s Beverly D. Humphrey Stadium), followed by the area meet on April 10 in Waco. The Eagles will then set their sights on regionals (April 18-19) and the state championships (May 3 at UT Austin’s Mike A. Myers Stadium), where they hope to continue DeSoto’s legacy of success in Texas track and field.
