We had 19 nominees for BLITZ Girls Track & Field Athlete of the Year, and now we’re down to 5 finalists, all seniors. Four of these girls (Anna Davis, Rachel Gearing, Kate Massey and Perryn Morgan) were all finalists last year as well, while Allison Smith joins the list this time around.

WHAT’S NEXT? These are NOT for public voting. Our official BLITZ voting panel will vote (Heisman-style) to determine our Athlete of the Year.
