Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-6 senior won Class AAA state titles in the 800 and 1600 meter events, clocking a state-record 4:40.06 in the latter and leading the Maroons to the team title. Her 800 time was personal-best 2:10.13 and her fifth-place finish in the mile at the Brooks PR Invitational was also a career best clocking. Secor lowered her own state mile record to 4:40.98 to take third at New Balance Nationals, which ranked No. 8 among girls prep competitors in 2023. She earned dual All-America honors at New Balance by anchoring a 4xMile relay quartet to a third-place showing in 20:31.31.
