THIS WEEK'S NOMINEES

---

Hannah Grace, Coastal Christian High School (NC): The junior from Wilmington, North Carolina, vaulted to the top of the national standings this past weekend at the New Hanover County Championships. With a vault of 13-6, Grace is now the new U.S. No. 1 in the pole vault this season. The Coastal Christian junior still holds a personal best of 13-10 from her 2023 season, which puts Grace on a strong trajectory for the rest of the outdoor season. 

Samantha Ennin, Plano John Paul II (TX): The John Paul junior hit a new U.S. No. 1 this past weekend at the Texas Relays in Austin, Texas. With a wind-legal leap of 41-1.25 (+1.5),  Ennin is now the at the top of the national rankings. 

Elizabeth Leachman, Boerne Champion (TX): The sophomore superstar struck again with a new 5,000m outdoor national record this past weekend in Austin. With a phenomenal run of 15:25.27, she swept the Texas Relays 5K field by roughly 35 seconds, claiming her second high school national record over the last three weeks. 

Addison Ritzenhein, Niwot High School (CO): The Niwot sophomore clocked a scorching time of 4:44.30 in the 1,600m over the weekend at the Niwot Invitational in Colorado. Not only was this both a Colorado No. 1, but also a U.S. No. 2 (before any altitude conversions). This was the fourth-fastest time ever on Colorado soil and puts Ritzenhein in a great position after making this caliber of an effort at 5,164-feet of elevation look like another day in the office. 

Alivia Williams, Montverde Academy (FL): The University of Iowa recruit showed up yet again this past weekend at the Florida Relays in Gainesville. The senior raced her way to a new U.S. No. 1 in the 400m, with a performance of 52.30. Not only a personal best for Williams, but also makes her one of only two athletes under the 53-second barrier this outdoor season thus far. 

McKenzie Travis, Evangelical Christian School (FL): The senior from Fort Myers, Florida, had herself a blazing performance at the Florida Relays this past weekend as well. Her mark now ties her for the U.S. No. 1 position with her wind-legal mark of 11.43 (+1.6). Although she shares the number one position, the University of South Carolina recruit is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
