In the Region I-6A meet at UT Arlington on April 28-29, Plano East had several athletes competing for state.

Leading the way for the Panthers was their 4×200 regional championship relay team. The team of Quincy Baggett, Ezra O’Neal III, Doryian Marshall and Jaylon Hatcher took home the gold in the event (1:26.23), finishing 0.14 seconds ahead of Arlington Bowie, who placed second overall.
