Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-6 sophomore won the 200- and 400-meter dashes at the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference Championships this past season, leading the Cadets to the team title. Yourish’s meet-record 400 time of 54.29 seconds ranked No. 36 nationally among girls prep competitors in 2023. Yourish earned All-American honors with a sixth-place finish in the 400 at New Balance Nationals Outdoor. She was also a member of the 4x200, 4x400 and 1,000-meter SMR relay quartets that also earned All-American accolades.
