Here are 15 girls that everyone should keep an eye on as the 2026 Kansas outdoor track & field season opens this week.

Athlete	School	Event	Mark	Why It Stands Out
Dru Zeka	Wellington	Long Jump	19-00.75	Breaking 19' in the long jump is an elite performance.
Sadie Reynolds	Lawrence Free State	Discus	151-02.00	150'+ in the discus is rare at the high school level and usually secures a 6A State title.
Jorryn Hall	Manhattan	Shot Put	41-11.50	Nearly hitting 42' puts her in the elite tier of Midwest throwers.
Ashley Lehman	Hesston	Pole Vault	12-04.00	12-04 is a championship-winning height that stands out across all classifications.
Reece Franklin	Frontenac	High Jump	5-08.00	The 5' 8" as a member of the Class of 2028 is a massive performance.
Paige Stanfield	SM East	Javelin	146-08.00	Leading a very deep javelin field.
Kaydyne Armknecht	Smith Center	Shot Put	40-06.00	Dominant performance for a 2027 athlete, showing a lot of potential for the 2026 season.
Kimberlee Scott	Basehor-Linwood	Triple Jump	40-05.75	Breaking the 40-foot barrier in the triple jump is the "elite" line for high school girls.
Ali Henry	Nemaha Central	Javelin	145-03.00	Hitting 145' as a 2027 athlete puts her on a list to keep your eye on in 2026.
Adrianna Guerrero	Ottawa	Long Jump	19-00.00	One of only two girls on the list to hit the 19-foot milestone.
Jessa Losew	Hutch-Central Christian	High Jump	5-08.00	Cleared this height at the State Championship to secure her spot at the top.
Elena Ginie	Olathe North	Pole Vault	12-00.00	Part of the elite "12-foot club" that defines Kansas pole vaulting.
Cadence Shrout	De Soto	Shot Put	40-04.00	One of the few athletes to consistently throw over 40' in high-pressure invitationals.
Brayli Keiswetter	Hill City	Shot Put	40-01.00	Another 2028 standout, throwing 40' as a freshman, could mean a future state champion.
Morgan Ray	Washburn Rural	Javelin	140-10.00	Breaking 140' is the standard for 6A championship contenders.
