Girls' Competition Lights Up with Multiple Meet Records
In the middle school girls division, Trinity Williams set the tone by crushing the 400m meet record with a time of 55.19, slicing nearly a full second off the previous best. Freshman Cassidee Fraser set a new benchmark in the 200m with a 23.95 clocking. Among national elites, Jaiya Patillo ran to victory in the 400m with a meet record-breaking 53.40. She surpassed the old meet record of 54.68 by over a second and won the event by over two seconds.
One of the weekend's most captivating stories, however, was 8th grader Zhoe Holt from North Carolina, who dominated the high school championship section with the fastest 100m prelim time of the meet at 11.47 - what would be a US Top 30 Wind Legal Time this year! Her 200m prelim of 23.76 ranked second nationally among middle schoolers, trailing only her own time of 23.34 from earlier this season. Holt held poise in competing up a level. A middle schooler in high school divisions? Not a problem.
