El Paso is celebrating a pair of standout achievements this week, with local talent earning recognition at both the national and state levels.
Six faculty members at Texas Tech Health El Paso have been named among the world’s top 2% of scientists, according to a ranking reported by Yahoo News. The distinction places a half-dozen of the institution’s researchers in elite company on a global scale — a remarkable milestone for El Paso’s growing medical and academic community.
On the athletic front, five El Paso high school softball players have been named All-State by the Texas Girls Coaches Association (TGCA), according to the El Paso Times. The honor recognizes the best players across the state of Texas, and El Paso’s strong showing reflects the depth of talent developing in the Sun City’s prep sports programs.
Together, the two recognitions offer a snapshot of El Paso at its best — a community producing excellence in both the laboratory and on the field.
