AUSTIN — The scene was so familiar, then the flourish at the end signaled a special end to a special Class 3A UIL State Track and Field Championships in the most special of careers for Holliday's Noah Strohman.
Moments after he charged down the home stretch to complete his golden triple — 800, 1,600 and 3,200 for a state championship team that left him 11-0 in individual state races — he had some celebrating to do with the second place finisher. That was his twin Ryder, who finished runner-up to Noah in the 1,600 and 3,200 and was fourth in the 800.

Holliday’s Noah Stroham and brother Ryder Stroham lead the 3,200-meter run during the Class 3A UIL State track and field meet on May 14, 2026, at Mike A. Myers Stadium in Austin, Texas.
After Noah pumped his arms in celebration crossing the finish line, he turned around, ran back to Ryder and they did a flying hip bump. Twenty minutes later they celebrated a dramatic team title with their 4x400 relay to complete the most memorable of final days in their final moments in Holliday uniforms.
"This was it," Noah Strohman said when asked if this was his favorite state meet. "This morning (in the 3,200) we didn't do a celebration, the 800 we didn't do a celebration. After the (3,200) I pointed my shoulder so he could get ready for it."
Said Ryder: "I was so extremely happy with getting second and doing our celebration," Ryder said.
The meet marked the fourth consecutive 3,200 and 1,600 crowns for Noah and his third straight win in what he considers his toughest event, the 800 (he didn't run that event as a freshman).
The normal order of things was actually disrupted at the Region I-3A meet two weeks ago when Ryder upset his brother, who was dealing with a calf strain, in the 3,200. But the script was in full force at state. Noah began his day with a state record 9 minutes, 2.35 seconds, in the 3,200 and flashed four fingers at the tape.
