Anna Coffin
Annapolis, junior
After a great cross country season in which she took second in the state in Class 4A, Coffin should be ready for more. She’s developing into one of the area’s top distance runners.
Samantha Facius
Mount de Sales, junior
She won the IAAM cross country title meet with a great kick at the end to beat out Lacey Eden of Archbishop Spalding. Facius also won the 800 and 1,600 in the 2016-17 indoor title meet.
Cameron Hinton
Franklin, senior
Hinton should be running the 300 and 500 meters and relays this winter. She helped the Indians to the Class 3A state title last year and will be going to Auburn next fall.
Chinenye Iloanya
Howard, junior
Iloanya pulled off an impressive hat trick in the shot put last winter for the Lions. She won the Howard County, Class 4A East and the state title (36-0.25 in that meet) with solid performances.
Beyonce Kelly
Harford Tech, junior
Kelly can sprint, run relays and do field events; her ability to do so much gives the Cobras a boost. Last winter, she took the Class 2A state title in high jump (5-6).
Nyjari McNeil
Franklin, senior
She truly can do a bit of everything and led the Indians to the Class 3A state title last winter. She’s headed for warmer weather in the fall — to San Diego State — and should be doing some middle distance and relays for the Indians this season.
Jada Seaman
McDonogh, junior
Last winter, Seaman ran the 55, 300, 500 meters and did the long jump for McDonogh. She won the long jump and 300 at the IAAM title meet, and is one of the growing group who can mix sprints and field events.
Janiya Valentine
New Town, junior
She has developed into strong sprinter and is coming off a big sophomore season. Indoors, Valentine won the state title in the 55-meter dash (Class 2A), then had a strong outdoor season.
Gwen Zeckowski
South River, senior
She won the Class 4A pole vault indoors (11 feet) and outdoors last year (same height). Zeckowski also won the region meet indoors as well as the Anne Arundel County meet outdoors.
Allie Zolkiewicz
South Carroll, senior
Her versatility gives the Cavaliers so many options. She can run anything from the 55 up to the 800 and help on relays; last winter, Zolkiewicz took the 55, 300, 500 and 800 at the Carroll County title meet.
