For the fourth time in as many years, Stratford High students recently gathered in the Don Coleman Coliseum to celebrate a state UIL athletic championship.

On Jan. 13, the Stratford boys cross country team marked its second consecutive state championship. The team is coached by Tony Brillon and Jennifer Clouse.

With 2011 and 2012 Stratford swimming championships, students in the Class of 2015 have the unique distinction of graduating with state championships all four years.

During the Jan. 13 campus celebration event, the girls cross country was also recognized for competing at the state level, placing ninth in the 5A UIL contest. The girls team is coached by Jason Reed.

Superintendent Duncan Klussmann, Board of Trustees members and many SBISD Senior Staff leaders attended the celebration event.
