Memorable Moments, 2023: Sutherland Sizzles At Classical Classic
Like a number of our top sprinters, Ailani Sutherland excelled on the track this spring. Among some of her accomplishments were Class A titles in the 100- and 200-meter dashes, all-state honors in the two events and a sub-12 for the 100m at the New Balance Nationals last month. Sutherland kick-started her outdoor season with multiple victories at the state’s first qualifier, the Classical Classic on April 29. It was there that she claimed victory in the 100m (12.12) and 200m (25.83) and also anchored her team’s winning 4x100m relay (49.54).
