In our newer series Indiana: Most Improved, we take a look at last year's performances from this week (9/11/2023 through 9/17/2023) and compare them to performances from this past week (9/16/2024 through 9/22/2024) to see who made the largest jump.
This week's top honors for the girls would go to Stephanie Malagon-Juarez from Warsaw Community whe would improve by nearly 5 minutes. She would take 4:48 off of her time between last year's FlashRock Invitational and this year's meet. She would go from a 26:19 to a 21:30 over the past year with her PR coming from a week earlier this season where she went 20:57 at the Marion Invitational. Avery Fuhrmann from Floyd Central would have the next largest leap going from 25:16 to a 21:19 at the Trinity/Valkrie Invitational in Kentucky which would be just about 20 seconds off of her PR from Columbus North earlier this year. Rounding out the top three improvers would be her teammate Georgia Atzinger who would take 3:57 off of her time last year...
