From the Seaman Relays to the El Dorado Invitational, the state was filled with big-time meets that laid the groundwork for even bigger performances.
As we head into our final weekend of the regular season, there's no better time to highlight 10 of the top performers from the first weekend of May. 
Top Performers:
Anneliese Lockwood (Kansas City Piper, 2026):
The future Kansas Jayhawk left the Seaman Relays with two new PBs to her name after finishing fifth in the 100m and winning the 200m and 400m. Lockwood matched her lifetime best in the 100m, running 12.44, and ran 25.65 (PB) and 58.61 (PB) in both of her wins. With a few weeks left until the state championships, Lockwood ranks No. 9, No. 2, and No. 3 in the trio of sprints across 5A.
Kyson Proffitt (Jackson Heights, 2026):
A year removed from a strong junior campaign, Proffitt has been hard to beat as a senior, winning 11 of his 13 races. At the 2026 Seaman Relays, he finished runner-up with a new PB of 10.68 in the 100m, and then won the 200m in 21.70. According to MileSplit's database, he is the fifth-fastest 100m runner in 2A history, and the fastest-ever in the 200m.
Sienna Wesley (Olathe North, 2027):
The 6A standout did it again in both the sprints and the long jump, this time pairing the 100m with her best event. At the Seaman Relays, Wesley dipped below 12 seconds for third time this season, running 11.9 for a new lifetime best. She added a win in the long jump, soaring 19-10.5 in her fifth win of the season. The junior sits No. 4 and No. 1 across all classes in both events.
Jayson Rush (Olathe North, 2027):
Rush competed in the 100m at the Seaman Relays, picking up his third meet win of the spring, running 10.78 and 10.58 in the prelims and finals. Rush is the No. 6 runner in the state right now, No. 4 in 6A, and also sits No. 14 statewide in the 200m. He and his Eagle teammates also rank No. 5 among all classes in the 4x100m.
Ava Claasen (Kapaun Mt. Carmel, 2028):
Claasen's stellar sophomore campaign somehow got faster at the El Dorado Invitational - she won both the 1600m and 3200m in a pair of PBs. In the 1600m, Claasen clocked 4:53.88, lowering her PB by nearly three seconds and winning by six seconds. In the 3200m, she ran 10:16.34 to become the fourth-fastest girl in Kansas history, moving past both Katelyn Rupe and Emily Venters. She currently sits No. 10 among sophomores nationwide.
Nathan Webb (Valley Center, 2027):
Heading into the weekend, Webb had run sub-2:00 in his last 11 800m races, owning a PB of 1:54.29. At the El Dorado Invitational, the junior broke 1:54 for the first time, running 1:53.64 to snag the victory. Webb is one of just three Kansans who have broke 1:54 this year, and sits No. 2 in 5A, sandwiched between Brody Anderson (Seaman) and Troy Heard (Maize South), the only other two under the barrier. He's also now the ninth-fastest junior in state history.
Kimberlee Scott (Basehor-Linwood, 2026):
In her final high school season, Scott has been on a tear in both the horizontal jumps and the shot put, most recently finishing first, first, and fourth at the De Soto Invitational. Scott jumped 17-3 and 39-4.25 in the long and triple, and threw 36-8.5 in the shot put. The 2025 triple jump state champion and shot put runner-up could very well win a trio of state titles at Cessna later this month.
Daniel Enriquez (Kapaun Mt. Carmel, 2026):
The soon-to-be Oklahoma State Cowboy made his 3200m season debut at the El Dorado Invitational, running the second-fastest time of his career. Enriquez won by eight seconds, crossing in 9:06.12. Now the fastest runner in the state by five seconds, the defending state champion is in a good spot. He also ranks No. 8 and No. 4 in the state in the 800m and 1600m.
Kaidence Alston (Mill Valley, 2026):
One of the best jumpers in the state was at it again over the weekend, finishing runner-up and first at the Trailblazer Invitational. In the long jump, she jumped 18-4.25, roughly seven inches behind the winner, and won the triple with a jump of 38-8, winning by just under four inches. Through six meets, she is undefeated in the triple jump with a PB of 40-4.5.
Noah Harrell (Olathe Northwest, 2027):
In his penultimate high school season, Harrell has been one of the best quarter-milers and long jumpers in the state. Over 400m, he's run 50.35 to come within a second of his PB, and cleared 23-6.25 in the long jump, over a foot of improvement from his previous best. Both marks came at the Trailblazer Invitational, where he finished runner-up on the track and first on the runway. He currently sits just a quarter-of-an-inch out from the 6A and state lead, and is the top junior in the state this year.
