New Balance Nationals Outdoor - 400m intermediate hurdles
“Sutton clocked two Top 15 times in prep girls history in the 200 and 400 this season and added a 400 hurdles clocking that’s in the Top 20 all-time. She also shared in three relay national titles, all of which rank in the Top 15 in girls high school history. If that’s not the best track athlete in her state, I’ll retire.”
