“Aaliyah Turpin was a scoring machine at the state meet as the leading point-getter on the female side. Her best showing came at the Nike Outdoor Nationals. Competing on her biggest stage, she broke the state record in the high hurdles by taking second in the 100-meter event, earning All-America honors in the process.”

Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-8 senior sprinter and hurdler earned All-American honors with a second-place finish in the 100-meter high hurdles at Nike Outdoor Nationals this past season. Turpin’s silver-medal-winning time of 13.42 seconds set a state record and ranked No. 9 nationally among girls prep competitors in 2026. She also set the state record in the 100-meter dash at the Art Madric Hall of Fame Invitational in April, clocking a time of 11.51, which ranked No. 32 nationally. Turpin won four titles, including one relay, at the Division I state meet, leading the Eagles to third place as a team.

Academic Achievement

Turpin has maintained a B average in the classroom. She has signed a written letter of athletic aid to compete on scholarship at Texas Tech University this fall. 

Exemplary Character

Turpin has volunteered locally as a youth track coach and has donated her time to multiple community service initiatives through her church.
