Class 4A State Meet - 100m
“As a hurdler primarily, Joslyn Hamilton was quite comfortable leaving her comfort zone at the state meet—that’s what champions do—and her points in the 100 dash reaped rewards for her team. One of the nation’s premier barrier competitors, her 30 individual points keyed the Rams’ one-point team win over runner-up Cuthbertson for the state title.”

Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-9 senior hurdler/sprinter set two personal records and won three titles at the Class 4A state meet this past season, leading the Rams to the team championship. Hamilton also won a national title in the 100-meter hurdles, clocking a personal-best time of 13.37 seconds, which ranked No. 5 in the nation among girls prep competitors this spring. Her PR in the 300 hurdles clocked at the state meet (41.10) ranked U.S. No. 6. Her third state title in addition to the two hurdles events came in the 100 dash as she broke the tape in a personal-best 11.67, which ranked as one of the nation’s Top 75 times in 2024.
