Phoenix Xavier junior Jessica Tonn became the third Gator to be named Gatorade Arizona Girls Track and Field Athlete of the Year.
Tonn won the 800-meter run with a time of 2.14.84 seconds, won the 1600-meter run in 5:01.30 and won the 3200-meter run in 10:56.93 at this year’s 5A Division I state championship meet. The 5-foot-6 junior distance runner also anchored the winning 4×800-meter relay squad at the state meet.
She was also the cross country runner of the year in fall and carries a weighted 4.18 grade point average.
Tonn automatically becomes a finalist for the national track athlete of the year which will be decided later this month.
Way to go Jess. We are all so proud of you. Keep up the good work. See you soon. Love, The Schrimsher’s
