The Kīhei, Maui native won gold in the 200m at the MPSF meet with a time of 23.90 and was also a part of the program record-setting 4x400m relay team at the conference meet.
 
A trio of other sprinters with program top-10 times return to round out a strong sprint squad. Senior Amy Warrington sits in the UH top 10 in the 60m, 200m and 400m while also contributing to the program record-setting 4x400m relay team at last year's MPSF Championships. Sophomore Kristin Cook holds the No. 4 time in school history in the 60m and the No. 10 time in the 200m while Gianna Scruggs has the ninth-fastest 60m time at UH.
 
Sammie Gordon leads the Rainbow Wahine multis crew after taking bronze at the MPSF Championships in 2023 with 3,586 points in the pentathlon, the fifth-most in program history. Anna Marx also returns after finishing sixth with 3,352 points in the pentathlon at MPSFs, good for the seventh-best mark in school history.
 
Five returning Rainbow Wahine own top 10 marks in field events. Sophomore Tara Wyllie currently sits seventh in the triple jump while also owning the eighth-fastest 60m hurdles time. Helen Hoadley is No. 4 in UH history in the pole vault while Hallee Mohr is eighth in the shot put and Montserrat Montanes i Arbo is fourth in the weight throw.
