The youth of PA athletes are here, and with the outdoor season in full swing, the talent of these young athletes is on full display.
BOYS
Robert Levins Fr. Jim Thorpe Area 11 100m/200m
Robert may just be a freshman, but he has already shown his skills and talent over the short sprint races, running 11.00 and 22.70, respectively, over the 100m and 200m. Levins is looking like he will have 2-3 district quals as just a freshman, with him also already jumping 20'-11'' in the long jump.
James A Hawkins Jr., So. Haverford School for Boys 110mh/300mh
Hawkins may only be a sophomore, but he has been at the top of the state rankings for a while now. James is currently ranked PA #1 in the 300mh and PA #7 in the 110mh as he just came off a 4th place finish indoors over the 60mh and holds PRs of 8.02, 14.16, and 37.91 over the 60mh 110mh and 300mh, respectively.
GIRLS
Olivia Akpan Fr. The Hill School 100m/200m
Olivia is currently PA #1 in both the 100m and 200m with times of 11.85 over 100m and 24.46 in the 200m. The freshman also placed 6th indoors over 60m at the state championships, running 7.67 and then later dropping that to 7.62 at NIN with her 2nd place finish in the 60m dash for freshman girls.
Alivia Noecker So. Wilson 03 Shotput/Discus
Alivia is just the best girls' shot put thrower in PA, and there is no other way to say it. She won the indoor state championships in shot, throwing a new PR of 47-1.75, and then went to both national meets, NIN and NBNI, going All-American in both with a 5th place finish at NBNI and a 6th place finish at NIN.
