Gigi Troup from Minnehaha. A State Champ!
Gigi had her best performances of the entire season in the month of June when it mattered most. At the Section 4A Championships, she won the triple-jump and also anchored the school-record-setting 4x100m relay team to a victory, helping the the girls to their first team championship in over a decade.

Afterwards, she stepped out onto the track and once again anchored the 4x100m relay team to their second state championship in the last two years.
