The 5-foot-9 freshman won the Class 5A state meet title this past season with a time of 18:26.45, breaking the tape 19.2 seconds ahead of her next-closest competitor and leading the Storm to a third-place finish as a team. Futey, who finished second at the 5A state meet as an eighth-grader, also won the Albuquerque Metro Championships and finished second at the Rio Rancho Jamboree in 2019. She was ill during the Nike Cross Nationals Southwest Regional championships, but still mustered an 80th-place finish.
Futey has maintained a 3.6 GPA in the classroom. She will begin her sophomore year of high school this fall.
Futey, whose sister has special needs, has volunteered locally on behalf of the Special Olympics. She has also donated her time at USA Track and Field events and on behalf of multiple community service initiatives through her church youth group.
