“Melanie Doggett turned in a sterling high school debut, breaking the 14-and-under world record in the 200 and producing the second-fastest freshmen clockings in U.S prep girls history in the 100 and 200. She’ll begin her sophomore year ranked No. 14 in prep history in the 200 and tied for 29th in the 100. That’s a different level.”

Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-4 freshman sprinter was unbeaten this year in individual events after sweeping the 100- and 200-meter dash titles at both the Nike Outdoor Nationals and Under Armour Nationals. Doggett won the 100 at Nike in a career-best time of 11.18 seconds, which ranks No. 2 in girls prep history among 9th-graders. She won the 200 at Nike in a personal-best 22.48, which is also the second-fastest freshman time in prep history.

Academic Achievement

Doggett has maintained a weighted 4.0 GPA in the classroom. She will begin her sophomore year of high school this fall. 

Exemplary Character

Involved in Impact Leadership Program and ILT Missions Training, Doggett has volunteered locally reading to elementary school students and donates her time annually during Campbell Elementary School’s Field Day. She has also served as a guest speaker for Fast Feel Elite Track Club.
