“Njie’s times in the sprints, including the all-time No. 16 clocking in the 400 and a national U20 title in that event, are too hard to ignore in Georgia. He won two individual events, shared in a relay title and scored in another relay at the state meet. Take those points away and the Lions finish 19th instead of fifth as a team.”

Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot-1, 155-pound junior sprinter won a national title in the 400-meter dash at the USATF U20 Championships, beating six collegians to break the tape 0.3 seconds ahead of his next-closest competitor. Njie also won the 200 at the Class 7A state meet, clocking a time of 20.80—the nation’s No. 12 time in 2024. His second-place time of 45.37 seconds in the 400 at the state meet was a personal-best, which ranked No. 3 nationally among boys prep competitors this spring and No. 16 in prep history. He ran the second leg for Westlake’s 4x400 and 4x100 relay quartets, which finished first and fifth, respectively.
