Head coach: Devin Mecham, third season

Returning letter winners: Thirteen

Top athletes: Mohn’Ai’ Roberson (Sr.), LaDavis Pierson (So.), Devyn Swain (So.), Mauriceia Roberson (Jr.), Joneisha Thomas (Sr.)

Outlook: Mohn’Ai’ Roberson finished seventh in the high jump in last year’s Class 4A state meet and was in the top six in the Sunrise Region in both the long jump and triple jump.

Pierson finished sixth in the region in the 200-meter dash and joined Thomas on the 800 relay team that finished fourth in the region. Swain was seventh in the region meet in the high jump.

“Our girls team returns 10 regional participants,” Mecham said. “Among those are the top freshman sprinter in the region and the top freshman jumper in the region from last season. We also return a state qualifier to our program for the first time in six seasons.

“We are excited to see how our girls rally around our improvement from last year. With some strong, dedicated leaders, we think we can see significant improvement this year.”
