Oregon High School Track and Field Athletes Shine Ahead of Spring Sports Season

As we step into the vibrant and exciting spring sports season in Oregon, the spotlight is shining brightly on our incredible high school track and field athletes! After the thrilling conclusion of the 2025 high school basketball state tournaments, these athletes are gearing up for an eventful season filled with athletic prowess and competitive spirit. This year, we’re taking a closer look at 40 of the top senior girls track and field athletes who are sure to make waves in the coming weeks!

Record-Setting Performers

Leading the charge is Behrman, a true force in the discus event. This remarkable athlete is not only a three-time Tri-Valley Conference district champion but also clinched the prestigious 4A state title last spring. Impressively, she has already added over two feet to her personal best in shot put this season, proving her determination and growth in the sport.

Greenspan is another name to watch, having an impressive track record with six medals from the 3A state meet – her most remarkable achievement being her first title in the 100 high hurdles last May. It’s clear that her performance has her geared up for another fantastic season!

Golden Glory

We can’t forget about Martin, the reigning champion who has claimed a remarkable eight individual gold medals at the 1A state meet. Over the last two years, she has seized sprint titles like no other, boasting a spot among the top 10 of Oregon 1A all-time lists in every sprint discipline!

Bouncing back from injuries, Anderson, who once held the 6A state pole vault title as a sophomore, is back and ready to dominate. At her peak, she cleared 13 feet multiple times indoors, so we can expect her to bring that momentum into outdoor events!

Then there’s Barnett, defending her 1A long jump state title while also racking up medals in three other events for a total of 11 state medals! An athlete with such versatility is always exciting to watch.

Rising Stars

If you’re into middle-distance events, keep an eye on Peterson. After successfully defending her 800 title at the 2A state championships, she also took home the triple jump title last year, which just goes to show her incredible range as an athlete!

For alarming speed, Coker is the one to watch. Last year, she went undefeated against in-state competition in the 100 hurdles and won back-to-back 6A state titles in high hurdles. Her competitive edge and focus will be key in the upcoming season!

College Opportunities

With collegiate coaches eagerly awaiting this season, Genduso looks to impress after winning the Pacific Conference pole vault district title and finishing second at the 6A state meet. She also captured gold in the Nike Outdoor Nationals, making her an athlete to keep tabs on!

Gatlin, a promising heptathlete, finished fifth at the 6A state meet in the 300 hurdles last year and is gearing up for another fierce competition this season!

Ambitious Goals

The excitement continues with Mauro, who has stunningly won three 3A state titles in the high jump and currently ranks sixth on the all-time state list, thanks to her impressive personal best. Meanwhile, Phillips capped her season last year with a fantastic victory in the 6A state title in the 100 after previously placing second and fourth in prior meets.

Don’t forget about Huyler, the recent 6A state cross-country champ, now ready to showcase her talents in multiple events this spring! She has even signed with Notre Dame to cement her future in athletics.

The Road Ahead

With athletes like Lalonde, who has swept the 2A state titles in both the 1,500 and 3,000 meters for the last two years – holding a record for the latter – and Nunes, who aims for her second consecutive javelin state title while looking to become the sixth competitor to win four championships in state history, it’s clear that this season will not lack in talent or determination!

As these standout athletes prepare for a thrilling season ahead, the anticipation builds for the championship events at Hayward Field. We can’t wait to see what these incredible track and field athletes will accomplish this spring!
