USATF U20s - 100m
“While limited to competing in the independent school championships during the PA postseason, Avery Lewis dazzled again this spring to cap one of the greatest prep careers authored by a Keystone State athlete. Recording the fastest all-conditions 100-meter time in state history this spring, she owns the state’s best performance in that event and as well as the long jump (set in 2023). Of historical import, she finishes as the lone Pennsylvania athlete to rank among the top three in history in three state meet events: the 100, 200 and the long jump.”

Athletic Excellence

The returning Gatorade State Track and Field Player of the Year, the 5-foot-10 senior sprinter/jumper broke two all-conditions state records and won four gold medals at the state meet this past season, leading the Phoenix to a second-place team finish at the Pennsylvania Independent Schools Athletic Association Championships. A three-time Penn Relays champion in the long jump, Lewis broke the state record in the event at the USATF U20 Championships, soaring 20 feet, 8 inches to finish fourth. She also broke the all-conditions state record in the 100-meter dash at the Mt. SAC Relays, breaking the tape in a wind-aided 11.21 seconds. Her 100 clocking of 11.51 at the USATF U20s earned her a gold medal. She captured gold medals at the PAISAA Championships in both the 200, breaking the tape in 24.08, and by anchoring the 4x400 relay quartet, which clocked a 3:51.43.
