She made the Jamaican World Championship team. So case closed. Not only that, but Williams, 17, ran a high school national record and new U18 wind-legal record of 10.94 (+0.6) seconds in the 100m in the finals of the JAA Championships. She went 11.01 and 11.20 in the prelims. A week earlier, she set a new Great Southwest Classic record of 11.02 seconds and before that, went 11.10 in Jacksonville. This season has truly the greatest high school sprint seasons of all-time. For good measure, Williams also went 22.88, 22.89 and 22.95 in the 200m. And she even won two state titles with her high school, Northeast, in the 4x100 and 4x400 during the FHSAA Class 2A Championships.

Mu's season isn't over yet, either. But she'll have an interesting decision to make. After qualifying for the Pan-American U20 Championships following her tactical and impressive wins at the USA U20 Champs (2:05.59, 2:05.73), she could choose to opt out of the junior championships and instead enter at the USA Outdoor Champs, where she, like Williams, could qualify for a senior team ahead of Worlds in October. Mu's best career time of 2:01.38, a No. 6 performance all-time and junior class record, came at the Music City Carnival in June. She also finished second in the 400m at NBNO in 51.98 -- just one of three girls under 52 seconds in 2019 -- and went 24.35 in the 200m.

Davis, 15, has run sub-52 in the 400m in consecutive weeks, each of which was impressive in its own right. She went 51.28 to win the USATF U20 Champs -- over collegiate Alexis Holmes -- and ran 51.17 at NBNO to beat Mu in the race final. She moved to No. 7 all-time in the event and set a new freshman class record. She's also run 23.08 seconds for 200m and 11.68 for 100m.
4
Wilson's season continues as well. The future Tennessee Volunteer won the 400mH at the USATF U20 Championships in a career best of 56.77, which moves her to No. 7 all-time in high school. That effort was one of three under 58 seconds for Wilson this season. She also owns a US No. 1 time of 40.78 in the 300mH and ran 52.08 for 400m, which is top 10 nationally. She's among the country's most versatile sprinters, having also run 23.59 for 200m and 11.85 for 100m.
5
Ford's season culminated at New Balance Nationals Outdoor, where the future USC Trojan finished the 400m fourth in 52.46, behind Mu and Davis. She previously set the nation's No. 1 mark of 51.57 at Great Southwest, and went 23.30 in the 200m and 11.68 for 100m.
5
She finished No. 3 all-time in the triple jump with her mark of 44-10 at the Texas Class 6A Championships. She also won the Texas state title in the LJ, hitting 20-7, and had an all conditions PR of 20-11.25 over the season. Moore finished her career with eight Texas state championships and will go down as one of the best jumpers in high school history. She'll continue her career at the University of Georgia.
7
She qualified for the Pan American U20 Championships with her US No. 3 9:29.39. It was part of a season that also included a US No. 2 9:54.75 in the 3200m -- No. 8 all-time. She went 4:37.45 for 1,600 meters and 4:41.18 for 1-mile -- the latter of which supplied her a NBNO title. She also ran 2:09.44 for 800m.
8
Closed her season after the New York State Championships. She's US No. 1 in the 3200m in 9:53.30 and US top 5 in the 3K (No. 2, 9:21.90), US top 15 in the 1-mile (No. 12, 4:46.24) and US top 5 in the 1500m (No. 3, 4:25.21).
9
The country's top heptathlete, she set a personal best of 2:11.02 in the 800m, 13.94 in the 100mH, went 5-11.5 in the high jump and 41.34 in the 300mH and thew a PR of 40-8 in the shot put. She performed in just one heptathlon, at the USATF U20 Championships -- and was on pace for a new national record before coming up short -- and scored 5,646 points.
10
An injury forced Davis out of NBNO following a heat in the 100m. Her season included bests of 11.27 in the 100m -- which came during a blowout victory at the Florida Relays -- and 23.06 in the 200m.
11
Continued to improve all year in the 100mH, she reset her own US No. 1 at USATF U20s with a time of 13.19 seconds. Over the course of the season she also won a LJ championship in Georgia with a mark of 20-2.25 and ran 24.05 for 200m.
12
Davies came on strong late. She set two Pennsylvania state records in the 100m and 200m this season, going a wind-legal 11.25 at the USATF U20 Championships and 22.95w at NBNO. Her wind-legal best was 23.74 at the PIAA Championships, which is the state record.
13
Michigan's top distance runner, she went 4:41.00 for 1,600, 9:57.01 for 3,200 and 9:53.00 for a full two miles.
14
She cleared 14-4.75 at NBNO to win her first national title. She set a national record of 14-8 this outdoor season and is headed off to Washington State.
15
Finished second to Vanderlende in the Brooks PR 2-mile in 9:56.13, a US No. 2 mark. She ran 4:39.57 in the 1-mile at the Magis Miles, a US No. 2 mark.
16
Her crowning achievement in 2019 was breaking Mary Cain's mile record at Penn Relays. Her best efforts in 2019 included a 2:08.40 800m, a 4:24.27 split in the 1500m (at MCDC), a 4:46.61 1,600m and a 4:38.19 full effort at the mile.
17
She qualified for the Pan-American U20 Championships as a member of USA's relay pool. She ran the fastest American 100m of the spring season in 11.24 seconds. She ran a best of 23.97 in the 200m.
18
Smalls was incredibly versatile in 2019 and factored in many events for her team throughout the season. Perhaps that stretched her load out, but she continued to perform well, going 11.94 in the 100m, 24.78 in the 200m, 55.45 in the 400m -- second at states -- and 19-1.5 in the LJ, where she also finished second at states. Smalls' two best events, though, were the TJ and HJ. She was fourth at the USTF U20 Champs in 41-4.5 and sixth at NBNO. While she didn't factor for a qualifier in the HJ, she has the most ceiling of any athlete returning and was the overall best high jumper in 2019, reaching a height of 6-2.25 -- No. 6 all-time.
19
Minor shut down her season after states, but not before she grabbed a state record in the 100m in 11.31 seconds. She posted her second state win in the 200m in 23.10 seconds.
20
Parks found another gear in 2019. She won a PIAA title in the 1,600 over Starliper in 4:37.07 and was second at Brooks PR in the full mile in 4:42.37. She also ran an 800m best of 2:09.56.
21
Masciarelli won two national titles at NBNO, winning the 5K in a US No. 1 and sophomore class record of 16:16.20, then came back and captured the 2-mile crown in 10:11.99. She also ran a US No. 1 3K in 9:21.44.
22
Ewert is fresh off a 10K RW win in 48:24.61, a new USATF U20 record. She won an NBNO 2K steeple title in 6:33.61, ran 4:48.01 for one mile and 10:17.85 for 3,200m.
23
She was the best of Louisiana in the 100m, where she ran 13.39 seconds at states. She also scored a best of 42.60 in the 300mH.
24

25
Foster's season started early, and had the displeasure of trying to hold on to form throughout the year. But she did race incredible in March, hitting 4:49.01 for 1-mile and 10:34.83 for 3,200 meters. In May and June she concentrated on the 800m and was consistently between 2:06-2:08, running to a third-place performance at USA U20s in 2:07.75.
26
Phillips had a good year, going 24.34 in the 200m, 55.54 in the 400m and 13.52 in the 100m -- she finished 6th at the USATF U20 Champs. But her best event was the long hurdles, where she went a US No. 3 mark of 40.82 in the 300mH and a US No. 4 mark of 58.45 in the 400mH -- she was 5th at USA U20s.
27
Holman was incredible to end the season, winning a title at Brooks PR in the 400m in 52.62. She returned at USATF U20s and qualified for the relay pool at Pan Americans with a career best of 52.12 seconds, a US No. 6 on the season.
28
Harris finished strong when it mattered, going 52.16 in the 400m at USA U20s, qualifying as the fourth and final member of USA's relay pool. She ran 52.32 in the prelims.
