Freshman makes history at King High School
King High School freshman Dillon Mitchell has captured 1st place in the 100-meter dash at the Region 3-6A Track Meet on April 19, solidifying his spot as one of the nation’s most elite young athletes. As only a 15-year-old freshman, Dillon clocked an astonishing 10.0 seconds, making him the fastest 15-year-old in the world in the 100m dash.
“While dominating on the track, he continues to maintain honor roll status in the classroom. Dillon is also a standout football player with multiple Division I offers, proving he’s a generational talent across multiple sports,” said KHS Head Football Coach Cory Laxen.
His speed has earned him a spot at the State Track Meet in Austin, Texas, where he will compete on May 3 at Mike A. Myers Stadium on the University of Texas campus.
