9. Gabrielle Wilkinson will go after more state titles
Friends' Central's Gabrielle Wilkinson wasted no time becoming one of the most exciting athletes in the state of Pennsylvania. As a freshman in 2015, she won the 800 meter title in a very dramatic race. Last year, Wilkinson won the mile, took second in the 800, and nearly finished off a crazy comeback in the DMR to help her team take second.
The junior could very well attempt a similar triple this year and have some of the same success. She comes into this indoor season with an 800m PR of 2:06.87, a mile PR of 4:53, and this past summer, she ran an AAU meet record of 4:25 in the 1500 meters. With half her high school career still remaining, there's no telling how fast she can go.
