Expand<\/a><\/p>\nWilson also set the course record at Irvine Regional Park with her winning time of 15:47.3 on the 3-mile course for the Orange County Championships in October.<\/p>\n
Wilson was proud of all of her achievements, especially the state meet record.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing a state champion was a huge goal for me,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cBut also breaking the state record and the course record was special.\u201d<\/p>\n
She competed in the Nike Cross Nationals in Oregon earlier this month. Her 23rd-place finish in 17:49.70 on a 5,000-meter course was not the greatest finish of her senior year, but qualifying for that national event was a major accomplishment.<\/p>\n
Wilson will continue her high school running endeavors in the spring with the track and field season. She was a CIF Southern Section champion last season in the 3,200 meters. Wilson finished seventh in that event at last season\u2019s CIF State Championships.<\/p>\n
Next fall she will attend Duke University, which has been a lifelong goal.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a kid I envisioned myself attending Duke,\u201d said Wilson, who has a 4.42 grade-point on a weighted scale. \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to go to a strong academic school.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wilson went into this season ready to pursue her huge goals, including pursuing the CIF State finals record of 16:25 set by Sadie Englehardt of Ventura in 2024, a record Wilson broke by an impressive margin.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt comes down to talent but mostly how hard you\u2019re willing to work,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cI feel like I came in super dedicated. This year meant a lot to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
COACH OF THE YEAR<\/p>\n
