TOMBALL - Tomball ISD proudly celebrates two student-athletes who captured UIL 6A State Championships at the 2026 UIL State Track & Field Meet, marking a historic moment for the District.

For the first time in Tomball ISD history, both Tomball High School and Tomball Memorial High School produced individual UIL Track & Field State Champions in the same year.

Naomi “Peach” Booker of Tomball High School claimed the UIL 6A Girls 100-Meter Hurdles State Championship with a winning time of 13.32 seconds, earning back-to-back state titles in the event and further solidifying her place among the state’s elite track athletes.

On the boys side, Tomball Memorial High School’s Ben Haywood soared to a UIL 6A State Championship in Pole Vault, clearing an impressive 17 feet, 6 inches to secure the gold medal.

Haywood’s state title performance capped off an outstanding season and showcased his talent and determination competing against the best athletes in Texas.
