“Brooklyn ran the only sub-18 5K among Mississippi girls last fall, then followed up by sweeping the 800 through 3200 at this spring’s track & field state championships, also giving the Bearcats’ 4x400 relay foursome a lead they never relinquished. Only a freshman and already an eight-time Class 5A individual track champion as well as the class record-holder in the 800 and 1600, her future looks bright.”

Athletic Excellence

The state’s Gatorade Girls Cross Country Runner of the Year last fall, the 5-foot-3 freshman swept the 800-, 1600- and 3200-meter events at the 5A state meet, leading the Bearcats to the team title. Without Biacamano’s triple-gold and her role on the first-place 4x400-meter relay quartet, Long Beach would have finished 6th. At the time of her selection, her personal-best clocking of 4:57.34 in the mile to capture gold at the Mobile Meet of Champions ranked No. 85 nationally among prep competitors in the event in 2019. An MHSAA All-State selection this spring and the 2019 Clarion Ledger Awards Athlete of the Year for girls track, Biancamano is undefeated in the 1600 to this point in her prep career and enters her sophomore year with 54 wins in the 64 races she’s started.
