The 5-foot-6 junior middle distance talent tied two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Sydney McLaughlin-Lavrone’s state record in the 400-meter dash at the NJSIAA Sectionals and her time of 51.87 seconds ranked No. 2 nationally among prep girls competitors this spring. Dumas earned NJSIAA Meet of Champions titles in the 400, 800-meter run, and 400-meter hurdles—her PR in the 800 of 2:02.75 at that meet ranked No. 4 nationally at the time of her selection. She clocked 57.30 in the 400 hurdles at the NJSIAA Group 4 Championships to rank No. 2 nationally. She is the only non-senior in history to rank in the all-time Top 25 in three individual events.
Dumas has maintained an A-minus in the classroom. She will begin her senior year of high school this fall.
A member of her school’s chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Dumas has volunteered locally facilitating bible study classes. Having overcome dyslexia to become an excellent student, she has also donated her time with Impact Athlete Collective, speaking at events to discuss obstacles in sports and how to overcome them.
