The 5-foot-2 junior won the Class 6A state meet this past season with a time of 17:46.27, breaking the tape more than eight seconds faster than any other class winner and leading the Patriots to a third-place finish as a team. A four-time All-State selection, Levering also won the Spain Park Invitational and placed 49th at the RunningLane Championships. She crossed the line in 56th at the Foot Locker South Regional.
Levering has maintained a 4.18 weighted GPA in the classroom. She will begin her senior year of high school this fall.
A tenor saxophone in the Homewood Patriot Marching Band, Levering has volunteered locally with Peer Helpers, which promotes safe and healthy drug and alcohol prevention, and with Best Buddies, mentoring special needs students. She has also donated her time to multiple community service initiatives through her church.
