Sydney Sutton, Jr., Bullis
Sutton competed among the best short-distance runners in the nation throughout her junior season and ended the year with top-five times in the 300 and 400. She finished third at New Balance nationals in the 400 and recorded a personal-best time of 53.08 seconds.

Scott Raczko, South Lakes
With his team’s long-distance prowess throughout February’s Virginia Class 6 state meet, Raczko coached the Seahawks to their first state championship since 1988. South Lakes’ 4×800 team shattered the state record by more than 11 seconds (8:55.79) during their state title triumph, which also served as the U.S. No. 3 time this season.
