Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-10, 160-pound senior exploded for 29 individual points at the Class 5A state meet this past season, leading the Scorpions to third place as a team. Gonzalez won the triple jump with a personal-best leap of 47 feet, 0.25 inches, took second in the long jump with a 22-2.25 effort, finished third in the pole vault with a clearance of 12-6 and placed fourth in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 40.77 seconds. A two-time state champion in the triple jump, his leap in the event at the state meet ranked tied for the nation’s No. 57 distance among prep competitors in 2022.
