Junior Grace Gillespie of Cedar Cliff emerged onto the sprinting scene in a big way this year. After a solid sophomore season, Gillespie turned into a state-wide threat this past season, posting big PRs along the way. At the Shippensburg Invitational, Gillespie won both the 100 meters and 200 meters in upset fashion. She then added a District 3 AAA title to her name winning the 100 in 11.98, becoming on of just seven girls in the state to go sub-12.
Now the Mechanicsburg native will travel to New Jersey for the regional qualifier this weekend as one of the favorites in the 17-19 100 and 200 meters.
