*Avalon Mecham after placing 3rd at the Border Wars UT Qualifier.
Avalon Mecham of American Fork was an instant star after making her high school debut at the Viking Invitational. She led most of that race with big names in the field, such as Reagan Gardner, Eliza Arrington, and Oakley Olson. Mecham was the only member of the class of 2024 to run under 18 minutes for three miles when she placed second at the Timpanogos XC Invitational. Avalon is one of the top returners for the 6A classification next year, and she will be looking to lead her squad to the team title as well!
