Athletes to Watch: Autumn Wilson (TX), Victoria Perrow (MD), Kaila Jackson (MI)


Autumn Wilson of St. Dominic Savio Catholic (TX) has not lost a final in the 60m all indoor season.

Her times have been spot on with consistency, as she's been running in the 7.40s throughout this year.She may be one of the most consistent athletes in the entire field.

This weekend, Wilson will need to repeat the same level of effort as she will be matched against Victoria Perrow of Bullis School (MD) for the second time this season. Going into indoor nationals, Perrow ran a 7.39 to open her season at the VA Beach Club Opener in December.

Wilson's fastest time in the contested 60m is 7.41, which she ran at the SPIRE Scholastic Showcase. Even though Perrow has the fastest time amongst these two girls and is No. 2 in the nation at this distance, Wilson came out with the win when they went head to head at the VA Showcase in the 55m. 

Also in the mix will be Kaila Jackson of Detroit Renaissance (MI), who is No. 3 in this event with a 7.46. A tenth of a second separates Perrow's best this season from Jackson.

Prepare for a photo finish.

Friends' Central's (PA) Avery Lewis enters the meet with a personal best of 7.49 to be ranked US No. 7 in the nation. Tied for US No. 12 Taejha Badal and Kaniya Johnson, and US No. 14 Samirah Moody are other sprinters in the field.
