Cedar Park's Frankenberg ends career with an 800 title at UIL championships
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Cedar Park senior Isabel Conde De Frankenberg took gold in the 800-meter run and finished second in the 1,600 meters to lead a local contingent of athletes during the second day of the UIL track and field championships Friday at Mike A. Myers Stadium.
Frankenberg finished in 2 minutes, 7.10 seconds to edge Lucas Lovejoy's Kailey Littlefield by about a second. Frankenburg followed up the impressive run with a comfortable silver medal finish in the 1,600 in 4:50.07. Boerne Champion sophomore Elizabeth Leachman blew the field away with a winning time of 4:41.36.
Frankenberg said the night was about honoring the people who supported her throughout her high school track career.
"In my last race, I just kinda ran out for fun and to enjoy everything I've worked up for and to appreciate my family and coaches and everything they've given me," he said. "Today was the day to show it off."
Frankenberg won the 1,600 and 3,200 titles as a sophomore in 2022 with a second-place finish in the 800 and she claimed the 3,200 title as a freshman with another silver in the 800.
