“Eddington is the clear-cut favorite for the girls, and I don’t think it’s close. She set the state record in the 300H. Her times were better than her Division I competitors and she won all four of her events at states.”
Phil Leck
Head Coach - Soldotna High

Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-5 senior sprinter and hurdler set a state record in the 300-hurdles with a time of 43.31 in the preliminary round of the Division II state meet this past season. Eddington went on to win the 300 hurdles, 100 hurdles, and both the 100- and 200-meter dash events at the meet, leading the Warriors to a fourth place finish as a team. She also owns the state’s fastest mark in the 100 hurdles, breaking the tape with a time of 15:03 at the 2026 Brian Young Invitational. 

Academic Achievement

Eddington has maintained a 3.89 weighted GPA in the classroom. She has signed a written letter of athletic aid to compete on scholarship in both track and ice hockey at St. Catherine University in Minnesota this fall.  

Exemplary Character

Eddington has volunteered locally as part of a food drive organized through a community food bank, which prepares and distributes food to remote parts of Alaska.
