At the recent State Athletics Meet, Ava Patel left spectators stunned with a lightning-fast 100m sprint that broke the meet’s previous record. Trained under Coach Marcus Rivera, Ava cut nearly half a second off her personal best—clocking in at 11.72 seconds.
Her journey was far from easy, with early-season injuries and mental hurdles. But Ava’s resilience and disciplined training schedule made the impossible possible.
Her achievement has earned her a spot on the national radar and a scholarship offer from a top university athletics program.
