Vitals: Exeter, senior, 200/400/LJ/1,600 relay

She's qualified because: In only her second season of track and field competition, she won the section 400 (56.14) with the sixth-fastest time in section history, recorded the section's third-best long jump (18-31/2) of the season and leaves Exeter as the school record-holder in the 100, 200, 400 and long jump. She also contributed to the team's 400 and 1,600 relays.

He said it: "It all came to her really fast and she burst onto the scene. She's an incredible athlete and fun to be around. She's undecided on her college, but whatever she does, she'll do with a smile, that's for sure. That girl smiles all the time." — Monarchs coach Darin Laskey.
