Top Graduating HS Seniors Nationally
Following is a listing of MileSplit’s choices of the very best of the nation’s 2012 graduating high school track & field and cross country athletes. Selections were not based on a single best performance in a single event, but on consistency of multiple high level performances in single events, performances across events in most cases, and performances at the highest level meets. Athletes are listed in order of event categories; sprints to distance, hurdles, jumps, and then throws. If we missed someone with similar credentials nationally, or information is incomplete for those listed, let us know at lknudson@milesplit.com .
