^denotes state record success in 2018.

Williams, a senior 100-meter specialist nearing a commitment to Texas Christian, has posted the fastest 100-meter time in the state. Reid, a senior UNLV pledge, has the top times in the 200 and 400 meters.

Davis, a senior headed for Hawaii, and Edmond, a junior, join them on the relay teams, which traveled last month to Philadelph­ia for the prestigiou­s Penn Relays — the oldest track and field competitio­n in the country — alongside world’s the fastest high school runners.

They won the national race in 46.64 seconds.

“It’s like a dream come true to me, to be on one of the fastest teams,” Williams said. “I’m living my dream. I’m living my best life.”

Rams sprinters are ready to compete in the Sunset Region track meet on Saturday and will almost certainly collect more state championsh­ips

Then they’ll go their separate ways.

But Jackson hopes their legacies will live on at Rancho and in Las Vegas.

Or, at least in Eldridge’s library of lore.

“We didn’t start from the top,” Reid said. “We kept working to get where we are. It feels good to get what we’ve accomplish­ed, or to get what we’re looking for.”
