The Girls 60m dash has a similar theme to the boys’ race, as Teahna Daniels (First Academy, FL) leads the nation in all short sprint events with her US #1 6.93 55m, US #1 7.39 60m and US #1 11.60 100m. The University of Texas commit has already transitioned to outdoor track, but is excited for her first showing at the indoor national championship. Brenessa Thompson (Medgar Evers, NY) is tied with Daniels at US #1 6.93 55m. The senior is on the start list but her status is uncertain after suffering an injury at the Eastern States Championship and no-showing at the New York State Championship this past weekend. Six other entrants have broken 7 seconds for 60m this season: Zaria Francis (Rio Mesa, CA) at US #4 6.94, Sydnei Murphy (Apex, NC) at T-US #5 6.95 55m, Kate Hall (Lake Region, ME) at T-US #5 6.95 55m, Carolyn Brown (Phoebus, VA) at US #7 6.96 55m, Brianna Duncan (Cambridge Rindge and Latin, MA) at US #9 6.98 and Cassondra Hall (Northside, Warner Robins, GA) at US #10 6.99.
Girls 200m
Breakdown: With two seeds being unknown, and a third who will be unknown if she will be competing, it is truly hard to predict how New York will do. It could be all, or it could be nothing.

Only one girl has broken 24 seconds this year for 200m, and that was Lauren Rain Williams (Oaks Christian, CA) to win the Jacksons Invitational/New Balance West in 23.39. Not only did she shatter the previous US #1 mark, but set a National Sophomore Class Record with the effort.
Keep an eye out for Zola Golden (Unattached, NY). The defending NBN Outdoors 400m Champion has stayed relatively quiet all season, given her decision not to compete for her high school team this year. Golden was runner-up in the NBN Indoors 400, but is bypassing the quarter mile to race the 200m. Last year, she was seeded second after the prelims in the 200 but finished seventh overall in the final. She ranks US #5 38.57 300m.
Other top prospects include Maiya Dendy (Padua Academy, DE), US #3 24.11 200m, Delaware State Champion; and Brandee’ Johnson (Nansemond River, VA), two-time All-American in 200m, US #4 38.55 300m.
Girls 400m
Breakdown: Kamryn McIntosh drops down to the 400m, which could garner a national title to go along with her national record. However, Amanda Crawford won't let her state leader go so easily.

With just two girls under 55 seconds in the field, the Girls Championship 400m may look like a barn-burner between Brooklyn Broadwater (Springside, PA), US #4 54.73 400m, and Amanda Crawford (Paul Robeson, NY), US #5 54.95 400m.
Lauryn Ghee (Grassfield, VA), who leads the nation in the 500m with her US #1 1:13.84 mark, should be right in the mix. Fellow Virginian Faith Ross (Western Branch, VA) could be a possible late entry, as she won the state tite on Tuesday in US #2 1:13.99 for a nearly three-second personal record.
North Carolina rivals McKinley McNeill (Parkland, NC), US #3 1:14.04 500m, and Layla White (Cary, NC), US #4 1:14.10 500m, will face off for both national and state bragging rights.
Speaking of going up in distance… 600m National High School Record Holder (1:18.78) Kamryn McIntosh (Suffern, NY) could be the sleeper pick of the meet.
Girls 60m Hurdles
Breakdown: With the curious absence of the recent state champion, several hurdlers are looking to break under 8secs en-route in the final.

Can anyone take down Sydney McLaughlin (Union Catholic, NJ)? There may be a better shot of the sophomore knocking off the National High School Record of 7.50 than losing to anyone at the line. McLaughlin recorded US #5 All-Time 7.66 for the 55-meter hurdles to win the Eastern States Championship last week. Ciara Leonard (Cheltenham, PA) and Sierra Brabham-Lawrence (Harrisburg, PA) battled back-and-forth over the Pennsylvania State 60H Record two weeks ago with Leonard finishing ahead and tied for US #1 at 8.39. North Carolina State Champion Ebony Williams (Parkland, NC) will be in the mix with her US #2 7.81 55H.
Girls 800m
Breakdown: It's a meeting of two disciplines, as Sammy Watson drops down from the 1000m, to meet Emma Gallagher, as she comes up from the 600m. Both them are capable of grabbing a national title.

US #1 2:09.21 half miler Ersula Farrow (Oak Park, MI) leads a slew of six girls who have run 2:09 for 800m this year, including Sammy Watson (Rush Henrietta, NY), the National Sophomore Class Record Holder for 1k at 2:47.27 and Millrose Games Mile Champion Catherine Pagano (Northern Highlands, NJ). Gabrielle Wilkinson (Friends' Central, PA) and Sarah Walker (Germantown Friends, PA) will rematch after their epic battle at the Pennsylvania State Indoor Championship, where they finished in a dead heat at US #3 2:09.56. Simplot Games Champion Kaley Ciluffo (Pleasant Valley, IA) will also be in the mix. With nearly all of these runners recording their season-best in a solo effort, expect someone to drop a big US #1 when they all meet in New York.

Ryen Frazier (Ravenscroft, NC) is another level in the mile this year. The NC State commit ran her nation-leading 4:49.78 1,600m during the cross country season and her US #1 4:41.56 Mile en route to placing sixth in a field of professional and collegiate runners at the Hilton Garden Invitational. Other top entrants at 4:50 this year include Millrose Games Mile Champion Catherine Pagano (Northern Highlands, NJ), Pennsylvania State Champion Marissa Sheva (Pennridge, PA) and Olivia Sargent (Pennsbury, PA), the runner-up in both of those races.
Girls 2-Mile

Michigan rivals Sarah Kettel (Capital Homeschool, MI) and Audrey Belf (Birmingham Seaholm, MI) will have another epic battle, this time joined by several athletes who have run under 10:35 for 3,200m. Kettel is US #1 at 10:28.82, though Belf (US #3 10:31.11) defeated her for the Michigan State Finals crown. Virginia State Champion Kate Murphy (Lake Braddock, VA) ran her US #2 10:30.82 3,200m solo and will be eager for competition, as will defending New Balance Nationals Outdoor Champion Hannah DeBalsi (Staples, CT), US #1 10:26.09 for Two Miles; and Pennsylvania State Champion Madeleine Davison (North Allegheny, PA), US #1 9:47.93 this year. Also of note, Ryen Frazier (Ravenscroft, NC) is appearing to go after her sister Wesley's 2013 distance triple as she is entered in the Mile, Two Mile and 5k. She ran 10:12.26 for 3,200m at an outdoor track meet in November.

Two-time Foot Locker Nationals Champion Anna Rohrer (Mishawaka, IN) enters as the defending New Balance Nationals Outdoor Champion in the event with her 16:16.97 win last spring. She took the winter mostly off from racing, though the Notre Dame signee did record a runner-up finish at Great Edinburgh Cross Country and a solo US #5 10:32.17 3,200m. The event will be the first of three for Foot Locker Nationals runner-up Ryen Frazier (Ravenscroft, NC), who looks to be going for the distance triple. Other top entrants doubling back from the Two Mile are the nation's top 3,200m and two miler in Sarah Kettel (Capital Homeschool, MI) and Hannah DeBalsi (Staples, CT) respectively.
Two of Virginia's best distance runners will also two the line in sophomore Libby Davidson (EC Glass, VA) who got 6th place at Foot Locker XC Championships this past fall and Weini Kelati (Heritage, VA). Don't be surprised if Kelati threatens for the win as the Eritrean native has the fastest 3k out of any current high school girl with her 9:12.32 ran at the IAAF World Junior Championships this past summer. In that same race, Stephanie Jenks (Linn-Mar, IA) represented the USA and will also toe the line for the 5k on Friday. Look out for Bella Burda (Arlington, NY), US #2 9:53.16 this year, as well.

Kate Hall (Lake Region, ME) has already established herself as one of the best high school athletes in Maine state history, compiling 22 state titles with one more season to go. The Iowa State commit enters the Girls Long Jump competition as the runner-up from last year's championship. With a season-best of 20-6, Hall is nearly a full foot ahead of the next competitor. US #4 Sydnei Murphy (Apex, NC), the second seed at 19-7, is a big-stage performer as she walked away with runner-up honors in the triple jump and runner-up honors in the triple jump at the 2014 New Balance Nationals Outdoor.
Girls Triple Jump
Breakdown: A star in NY, Ebwea-Bile is one of a trio at the National Level. She comes in ranked US #3, and will need to get back to those 43's to solidify a win here.

Simplot Games champion and three-time All-American Chinne Okoronkwo (Mountlake Terrace, WA) is a safe bet as the favorite, given her US #1 mark of 41-4. Marie-Josee Ebwea-Bile (Cardozo, NY) (pictured) is undefeated in the jumps this year, boasting a season-best 41-1.5 to win the PSAL City Championship. NBN Outdoor runner-up Sydnei Murphy (Apex, NC), US #4 at 40-10.25, is seeded third.
But watch out for a possible late entry in Titiana Marsh (Thomas Dale, VA), who set the National Freshman Class Record of 41-2 at the Virginia 6A State Championship on Monday night.

The Girls High Jump should be the Nicole Greene (Ponte Vedra, FL) show. The senior is undefeated and the only prep to clear six feet this season. The UNC-Chapel Hill commit will have a bit of vengeance on her mind, as her only prior showing at New Balance Nationals resulted in an eighth-place, 5-7.75 finish last spring. Behind Greene, Britten Duerden (Morgan, UT) and Danae Bucci (Bedford, MA), tied for US #4 5-9, share slots as the second seed.

US #3 Mackenzie Shell (Port Huron, MI) enters as the top seed at 13-6 after winning a slew of league meets in Michigan. The two-time All-American will be challenged by Ohio State Champion, US #4 13-5 competitor Kristen Denk (North Royalton, OH).
