“Kashie has been an exemplary student-athlete. Not only is he a leader for his peers, but also plays a coach-like role for our younger athletes. He is selfless when it comes to events we plug him into and he’s willing to do whatever is necessary for the team to succeed. He has provided the encouragement and motivation to bring our team to new levels of achievement.”

Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-8, 150-pound senior swept the 110- and 300-meter hurdle events at the Class 5A state meet, clocking personal-best times in both and leading the Lions to a third-place finish as a team. Crockett’s time of 13.76 seconds in the 110 set a class record and ranked as the nation’s No. 10 clocking among 2021 prep competitors. According to MileSplit.com, it was the No. 4 wind-legal performance in state high school history. His 36.42 in the 300 ranked No. 3 nationally in 2021 and set an all-state record. Also the winner of the 110 hurdles at June’s Track Houston 2021 Championship, he chipped in further at the state meet by anchoring the Chiefs 4x400 relay quartet to a win in addition to handling the second leg of the squad’s 4x200 foursome, which finished third.
