Dillard’s Christiana Coleman couldn’t have scripted a better final chapter for her senior year.
Coleman leaves as one of the most decorated track and cross country athletes in Broward County and the icing on the cake came at the 3A state track championships at the University of North Florida Hodges Stadium in Jacksonville.
The University of Florida signee ran personal-best times in winning the 1,600 (4:53.58), and the 3,200 (10:50.88) to help Dillard’s girls win the team state championship and end the 14-year reign of Miami Northwestern.

Claire Chanon, Track, Westminster Academy.
Atlantic senior Thalia Waters was somewhat of a Swiss Army Knife for the Eagles girls track team this season.
The UF signee captured first in the 100 hurdles and long jump in the Class 3A state meet and added a fifth-place finish in the 100 and an eighth-place finish as a member of the 4×100 relay team.
“I started the year kind of rough, with some ups and downs, but then I did great,” said Waters, who had initial difficulty transitioning from the indoor season with her club team to high school.
