Miss Leslie Ables

Track & Field: Pole Vault MS and HS
I am a Texas State Graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Exercise and Sports Science and a minor in Math. Go Bobcats! While at Texas State, I competed in pole vault on the Texas State Track and Field team. The coach I had while training there made such a positive impact on my life, which led to my passion of becoming a coach as well. I am excited about working with each and everyone of you and cannot wait to help everyone succeed. I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking, traveling both throughout the U.S. and abroad, pole vaulting, swimming, volleyball, playing the piano, and anything else outdoors! I have a passion for teaching you all great lifelong skills so that you will be successful in setting, reaching, and maintaining your goals!

Mr. Trey Compton
8th Girls Basketball
8th Girls Soccer
Hurdles at Miller and HS.
Coach Compton is entering his seventh year of coaching and teaching, bringing a wide range of experience across multiple sports. Over the years, he has coached football, girls’ basketball, hurdles, boys’ and girls’ soccer, and also served as an assistant wrestling coach, a true jack of all trades when it comes to athletics.
A 2018 graduate of Texas State University, Coach Compton earned his degree in Kinesiology with a minor in Special Education. His passion for coaching and teaching was shaped early on by mentors who inspired him to pursue this path —his middle school coach, Coach Jackson, who pushed him to go beyond what he thought possible, and his E4 teacher, Mr. Techmansky, who showed him the lasting impact of teaching.
Coach Compton is committed to building student-athletes who not only develop skills on the field, but also character, resilience, and confidence that will serve them for life. Just as importantly, he strives to support his students in the classroom, encouraging academic growth, discipline, and a mindset that prepares them for success beyond athletics.
