The 2025 Track and Field Season was a wild one for the girls 100m. We saw an insane jump in the caliber of the field that the state meet produced. We enter this year with a total of 19 of the 27 all-staters returning which makes this year look to improve on the massive improvements that last year started.
These rankings are based on multiple factors including PRs, consistency, state placement, and national placement. Only data from the 2025 Track & Field season are used in these rankings. No performances from cross country or 2026 has been included.
