Eight New Names To Know From Spring Track 2021

Highlight Performance: 2:16.8 for 800m for NY #7

Pre-Covid - Markovina may be more a realization of the Fall II XC Season, where she saw a big jump in performance, but that improvement has continued on the track. Starting as a freshman, Markovina saw herself as a long sprinter, dropping down to the 200m, focusing on 400m, and then jumping up to the 800m. It would creep up to the 1000m indoors, with some 1500ms sprinkled in. XC was also in the recipe, with Markovina winning a sophomore division race at Manhattan. Last Indoor Season culminated with the 1000m at State Quals, with a PR of 3:09.36, for 7th place.

Now - Markovina went undefeated in the Fall II Cross Country Season, ending the year with a 134 speed rating, Top 20 overall in one of the deepest States in the Country. On the track, she's seen PR's all around, putting up a 61.24 in the 400m, and bringing down her 800m to 2:16. The success in XC has translated to the 1500m as well, where she now sits with a best of 4:45.80 to boot.
