The state’s returning Gatorade Player of the Year, the 5-foot-8, 130-pound senior middle distance and distance talent earned dual All-American honors at New Balance Nationals Outdoor earlier this month with a pair of runner-up finishes in the mile and as the anchor of the Huskies’ Distance Medley Relay quartet. Smith became the third Pennsylvania prep runner in history to crack the 4-minute mile barrier with his second-place finish of 3:59.00 at the HOKA Festival of Miles, which ranked No. 2 nationally among prep boys competitors this spring. He also won the 1600-meter run in 4:02.63 at the Class AAA state meet, which ranked No. 4 nationally, while his winning time of 1:48.55 in the 800 at the Brooks PR Invitational ranked No. 8.
Smith has maintained a B average in the classroom. He has signed a written letter of athletic aid to compete on scholarship at Oklahoma State University this fall.
Smith has volunteered locally as a youth track coach and mentor.
