4. Emily Wisniewski
- - -
School: Crescent Valley (Corvallis, Ore.)
Year: 2025
2023 Notable Finishes: Third at Nike Cross Nationals, Oregon 5A State XC Championships, NXR Northwest Champion, Oregon 5A 3000m State Champion, Third in 5000m at Nike Outdoor Nationals
Analysis: Throughout her junior campaign, Wisniewski had just a single loss to her name heading into Nike Cross Nationals, running under 17:00 three times and under 17:10 three more times. Her fastest time came at the 3rd Annual Rose City Championship Invitational where Wisniewski clocked 16:27.2 for the win and the No. 3 time in the country last season.
Before she takes her talents to Raleigh, NC next fall, the fastest girl in Oregon history has a few more boxes to check; including what would be her fourth straight cross-country state title, and an improvement on her third-place finish at NXN last December. Wisniewski's consistency makes her one of the top returners heading into the season, and her experience could be what propels her to a national title.
