The state’s two-time returning Gatorade Runner of the Year and Track and Field Athlete of the Year, 5-foot-4-inch junior distance talent led the Bearcats to fourth place as a team at the MHSAA Class 5A State XC Championships this past season, breaking the tape to win the individual title with a time of 18:15.60—the fastest all-class clocking of the postseason. A four-time state champion and All-State selection, Biancamano ran the state’s top 5K girls time (a personal-best 17:41.18) in 2020, which was 24.77 seconds faster than her next-closest competitor. Also the 2020 Clarion Ledger Girls Cross Country Athlete of the Year, she won the Mobile Challenge of Champions Invitational Division race last fall and holds state club 5K records for the 13-, 14- and 15-year-old age groups.
Biancamano has maintained a 5.48 weighted GPA on a 4.0 scale in the classroom. She will begin her senior year of high school this fall.
Biancamano is a co-leader of Long Beach High’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter and belongs to the school’s community service Rotary International Interact Club. Conversant in American Sign Language (ASL) and a member of the Michael Memorial Baptist Church youth group, she has served as a member of the Long Beach Mayor’s Youth Council and her school’s Junior Civitan club, and she has volunteered as a mentor with the Heritage Christian Academy (Picayune) Cross Country Camp.
