The 5-foot-6 junior sprinter set a state record in the 200-meter dash this past season, clocking a time of 23.58 seconds to smash the previous record by nearly 0.4 seconds. Huckins’ top wind-legal 200 clocking of 23.83 seconds at the District 3-6A Championships ranked No. 75 nationally among girls prep competitors this spring. She also broke the tape in the 100 at the district championships in 11.67 seconds, which ranked No. 87 nationally, and anchored the winning 4x100 relay quartet that set a state record in 46.95 seconds. She missed the Class 6A state meet when a bad reaction to medication she received after suffering heat stroke at districts sent her to the hospital for a multi-day stay.
Huckins has maintained a 3.25 GPA in the classroom. She will begin her senior year of high school this fall.
Huckins is a student aide in the Capital High front office and a member of the school’s Multicultural Club. She has volunteered locally at youth track meets and has also donated her time to multiple community service initiatives through her church congregation.
