“Adaejah Hodge took on an ambitious schedule throughout the year, consistently challenging herself against professional and college competitors in her quest to become one of the elite prep athletes of all time. She clocked a historic time in the 200 this spring and turned in one of the most exceptional performances in World Under-20 history with her record-setting run in the 200 at the New Balance Nationals Indoor earlier this year.”
