High Schoolers


As mentioned, Cooper Lutkenhaus set a National Record in this race . . . but others did well in this race too.
2nd place finisher, Owen Powell became the #6 performer all-time, and 3rd place finisher, Tiago Socarras became the #11 performer all time.
 
Another HSer to note: Natalie Dumas of New Jersey.
She recently won the 400m, the 400m hurdles, and the 800m at the NJ Meet of Champions. An amazing feat! and she's just a junior.
A few weeks earlier she tied Sydney McLaughlin's state record in the 400m, 51.87. That's the #2 time in the country.
She has #3 time in the country in the 800m, and the #2 time in the country in the 400m hurdles!
Check this out . . . an incredible triple from Natalie Dumas. She may be the next American women's track superstar.

This may be a name to look for in the next couple of years. Ally Brediger, a ninth grader from Ohio, ran an 11.72 100 meters in June. She also had an outstanding performance at the Adidas Track Nationals meet. She ran a 7.55 60, a 24.67 200, and a 57.84 400.

 
Delaney Brinker had a fantastic meet at the Missouri Class 5 State T&F Championships this year.
She came 2nd in the 100m, and 1st in the 200m and 400m.
Her best times this year were: 11.74, 23.68, and 53.10.
She will be running track next year at Kansas State.

I looked for her online, and found this video of the Freshman 100m at the New Balance Nationals.
Ally came a close 3rd, but 1st place was another name to remember....Zoey Orlando.

In the last decade we have seen a slight uptick in the boys and girls making strides in high school track. It's great to see. Both of these young
ladies have a very bright future in front of them as they are only 14 years old. Good luck to both of them.

We need to give more attention to Natalie Dumas of New Jersey.
In addition to her incredible triple win at the New Jersey state championships (above); she repeated that triple at the New Balance Nationals Outdoors.
She won the 400m, the 400m hurdles, and the 800m. An unbelievable triple!
Her times were incredible too - 51.14 (#1 in the country); 55.99 (#2 fastest in the country); 2:00.11 (#1 in the country).
Additionally, all her times put her in the top 10 all-time for each event.
400m, No.8 HS performer all-time.
400m hurdles No.7 HS performer all-time.
800m No.5 HS performer all-time.

And P.S., she is a JUNIOR!

Here is her 800m race. Listen to the announcers after the race. They can barely find words to adequately describe her triple win.
