Athletic Excellence

The state’s returning Gatorade Girls Track & Field Athlete of the Year, the 5-foot-9 senior led the Bulldogs to a first-place finish as a team in the Class 5A state meet this past season. Hunter came all the way back from tearing a knee ligament in October to win the 100-meter dash, the 200-meter dash, the 400-meter dash as well as run the anchor leg on Provo’s winning 4x400-relay team. Hunter took second in the 400 at the Brooks PR Invitational, and her top time in the 400 of 53.35 seconds at the Great Southwest Classic ranked No. 13 in the nation among prep competitors at the time of her selection.
