This Week's Nominees:

Addyson Bautista, Terre Haute North Vigo (Indiana): First place came out of a 92-runner field at the Danville HS Conference meet, where the 5K was covered in 17:31.44, good for a 90.2-second winning margin. That clocking stands as the fastest in MileSplit's database at Danville High School since 2009, a span covering 409 athletes, and also the fastest sophomore mark there among 153 sophomore athletes in that same database.

Mia Brinkruff, Greenfield Central (Indiana): Winning the 2026 Delta Eagle XC Invitational outright, the 5K went by in 18:47.10, with 26.8 seconds to spare over the next runner among 93 finishers. The time ranks No. 21 of 1,398 athletes in MileSplit's database at Taylor University since 2015, and No. 6 among 586 sophomores tracked there over that same span.

Kylee Waninger, Heritage Hills (Indiana): A 19:16.50 clocking in the 5K was good for first place out of 85 finishers at the Pocket Athletic Conference Championships, with 41.2 seconds back to second. It marks the fastest time in MileSplit's database at Boonville High School since 2013 among 740 athletes, and the fastest freshman mark there as well. The showing also improved a prior effort on this course by 43.1 seconds, from 19:59.60 down to 19:16.50.

Grace Leppert, Bishop Chatard Indianapolis (Indiana): First place at the Indy City Cross Country Meet came in 18:49.00 over 5K, with a 42.0-second cushion ahead of the 91-runner field. That time sits at No. 49 of 3,010 athletes in MileSplit's database at Brebeuf Jesuit High School since 2009, and No. 26 among 1,181 seniors tracked there over that same period.

Abigail Ramseyer, Bluffton (Indiana): Winning the 2026 ACAC Cross Country Championship by 45.6 seconds, the 5K was covered in 19:08.50 across a 53-runner field. It stands as the fastest time in MileSplit's database at South Adams High School since 2012 among 652 athletes, and the fastest junior mark there as well, improving a prior mark on this course by 69.3 seconds, from 20:17.80 down to 19:08.50.
