Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-8 junior swept the 100-meter dash, the 200-meter dash, the 400-meter dash and the 800-meter run at the Class 5A state meet this past season, leading the Bulldogs to a fourth-place finish as a team. Hunter set a meet record in the 400 with a time of 53.14 seconds, while her best 400 time of the season, 52.59 at the Davis Invitational, is a state record and ranked No. 4 in the nation among prep competitors at the time of her selection. She also ranked No. 23 in the nation in the 800 (2:09.26) and No. 84 in the 200 (24.20), while her best 300-meter hurdle time of 43.49 just missed a top-100 national ranking.
