“Ella Whitman has been dominant for so long. She continues to improve in the 3000 despite the fact that no one in Vermont can run with her. She spends most of the 7 and a half laps all by herself.”

Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-6 senior won the 3,000-meter run and finished second in the 1,500-meter run at the Division I state meet this past season, leading the Redhawks to a second-place finish as a team. A three-time state champion in the 3,000, Whitman ran her career-best time of 10.16.48 at a meet in early May, a clocking which ranked No. 84 in the nation among prep competitors at the time of her selection.
