Riverside’s Trenton Coronel Joins the Yellowjackets Track Program

Riverside High School graduate Trenton Coronel has signed at MSU Billings to compete in track and field.

Coronel was a three-sport student-athlete for the Rebels.

He qualified for the state track meet in all three years of his prep career. He did not get a chance to compete in 2020, as the track and field season was canceled due to the coronavirus.

Coronel helped the Rebels take second place in the Class 1A boys’ 4x100 meter relay. He took third in the 1A long jump with a leap of 19-9.25. Coronel was fourth in the triple jump (40-8.75) and tied for fifth in the high jump (5-8). He won the long jump title at the 1A West Regional track meet in Shoshoni and was in the top four in both the triple jump and high jump.
