AUSTIN -- Sheldon C.E. King sophomore superstar Dillon Mitchell closed out the track season heard around Texas with a 9.92 100M dash, winning the Class 6A Gold Medal. 

Mitchell became a household name last fall by earning Newcomer of the Year in the toughest district in Texas, compiling 1,800 all-purpose yards and helping C.E. King improve from 5-5 to 13-3. But his spring track season has launched him into a different stratosphere of fame. The 16-year-old set the Under-18 world record in the 60M sprint with a 6.61 at the US Indoor Track and Field Championships. He also recorded a 9.88 100M dash, the third-fastest all-conditions time in US High School history. 

Mitchell becomes the second member of his family to win a UIL State Track and Field Gold Medal. His brother, Texas State defensive back Will Mitchell II, won gold at Fort Bend Marshall in 2024.
