7 Under-The-Radar Athletes At New Balance Nationals Indoor


Hope Igbinoghene

School: Hewitt-Trussville (AL)

Events: 60m, 200m

Outlook: You might know the name. Hope is the sister of Hewitt-Trussville (AL) graduate Noah Igbinoghene, a national-level triple jumper and freshman football player for Auburn University. But where Noah was a great jumper, Hope veers into the sprints. She's secured a US No. 23 60m mark of 7.59 and US No. 24 time of 24.48 in the 200m. She's not a favorite to win in either race, but the Alabama athlete, who scored a second-place bid at indoor states in the 60m, shouldn't be overlooked either.
