Grad Year: 2024

Avalon Mecham is the top returner in the 6A classification, and the question is, who will stand in her way? Mecham has PRs of 17:02 for 5000m and 17:28 for 3 Miles. She ran her best track times at the BYU HS Invitational, where she dipped under 5:00 in the mile going 4:56 and under 10:40 in the 3200m going 10:37. Mecham has already pocketed a win from the premier invitational, where she ran 17:24 and finished 38 seconds ahead of the defending 5Astate champion Raygan Peterson. Avalon is looking to lead her team to a second consecutive state title, and with their squad returning Natalia Boltz and adding some talented freshmen, they look poised to do it.
