Ever since her freshman year, Juliette Whittaker of Mount De Sales Academy has dominated the running scene. The Olympic trials qualifier has not stopped as her senior campaign looks to be her best.

After winning the Millrose Games Mile and setting a new national record in the 1K in the Ocean Breeze Elite Invitational, Whittaker continues to be one of the most dominant high school athletes of all time in middle-distance events.

She currently ranks Maryland #1 in 4 events (800, Mile, 1000m, 1500m) and ranks top 10 nationally in all four events with a US #1 run at 1000m (2:39.41) and US #3 run at 800m (2:01.00). 

Whittaker is set to be in the fastest heat of the Girls Championship Mile with some of the nation's best and may have a crack at the national high school record if the race plays out quickly.

Regardless, look for Whittaker in the Girls Championship Mile Sunday at 11:00 AM EST as she guns for a national title and potentially a high school record!
