Hays High senior high jumper Michael Boudoin III has punched a ticket to the UIL State Track and Field meet. On April 23, Boudoin qualified for the state meet by taking second place in the boys high jump event at the UIL Region IV-6A meet at Heroes Stadium in San Antonio. Boudoin claimed silver with a jump of 6-feet, 6-inches, which places him into the 6A state meet to be held May 8 at Mike A. Myers Stadium at the University of Texas at Austin. Boudoin, who also plays football and basketball, is competing in his third sport this season. During the football season, Michael earned two first team 26-6A All-District honors at running back and defensive end in 2020. He was also named to the 6A TSWA football All-State second team as an all-purpose player. Currently, Boudoin is ranked third in the state in high jump and sixth nationally.
