Athletic Excellence

The state’s returning Gatorade Runner of the Year and its Gatorade Track & Field Athlete of the Year last spring, the 5-foot-7 sophomore won the Class 5A state meet for a second straight year this past season with a time of 17:50.44, breaking the tape 15.14 seconds ahead of her next-closest competitor and leading the Mavericks to a second-place finish as a team. Halladay took second at the Nike Cross Nationals Northwest Regional championships and then placed 40th at the NXN Final. She won six of eight races and did not lose to an in-state opponent during the 2017 campaign.
