In December, Track & Field News released their annual listing of High School All-Americans, eligibility moves, and ratings of the incoming freshmen classes (which is published in their January 2014 edition). Five current Ivy League freshmen were recognized as High School All-Americans: Jade Miller (Harvard – 300/400 Hurdles), Nikki Okwelogu (Harvard – Discus), James Randon (Yale – 2 Mile), Rudy Winkler (Cornell – Hammer), and Josh Whitener (Harvard – Hammer). Miller and Okwelogu helped the Harvard women’s incoming class get a # 9 ranking for the women’s teams. Miller even received a featured interview by friend-of-Hepstrack Rich Sands regarding her choice to go to Harvard. Sure, you can try to read it in the image above, but we recommend you check out the magazine itself.
