Athletic Excellence

The state’s returning Gatorade Girls Track & Field Athlete of the Year, the 5-foot-11 junior was the national champion in the discus throw with a winning toss of 155 feet even at the New Balance Nationals Outdoor earlier this month. Frank also won the shot put and discus events at the Division A state meet this past season, leading the Roughriders to a fourth-place finish as a team. Her season- and personal-best throw of 167 feet even in the discus ranked No. 4 in the nation among prep competitors at the time of her selection.
