Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-8 junior middle distance talent swept the 1600- and 3200-meter events at the Class AAA state meet this past season, leading the Trojans to the team title. Gullickson established personal-bests in the 1600 and 3200 at the Section 6-AAA Championships, and her 1600 clocking of 4:44.54 ranked No. 20 nationally among prep girls competitors this spring while her 3200 mark of 10:18.63 ranked No. 44. She also ran the anchor leg for Wayzata’s 4x800-meter relay quartet that set a state record of 8:58.22 at the Lake Conference Championships.
