Camila, made a powerful statement in her debut season by qualifying for the 3C2A State Championships in not one but two technical field events: the long jump and the high jump.

Representing Southwestern with poise and competitive spirit, Camila earned an 11th-place finish in the long jump, recording a solid mark of 4.99 meters (16ft 4in). She followed that with a 10th-place finish in the high jump with 1.50m (4ft 11in) , showcasing her versatility and consistency across disciplines that demand speed, power, and precision.

Her results at the championship meet are not only a testament to her athletic ability but also her dedication, discipline, and the strong foundation she's building for the years ahead.

As her freshman year comes to a close, Camila Mendoza has already made her mark on the collegiate track and field stage. With her debut season now in the books, the future looks bright for this rising star.
