Logan Stanley at work. This past Track Season saw more news coverage for our hard working athletes than they’ve had in a long time. Very thankful to Logan for all of the exposure to the sport and the AZ track athletes.

With Whitman in the class of 2025, Cesar Chavez’s Mayen Usoro in the class of 2026 and North Canyon’s Devyn Henderson in the class of 2027, the talent in the sprints is deep and spread out.

Desert Vista junior Rickaiya Whitman is one of Arizona’s best sprinters and one of the top prospects in the state for the 2025 class.

She talks about winning the Division I state title in the 100m and 200m, as well as competing against a deep field of sprinters.
