Here are the Southern Arizona All-Stars for Track & Field.

Listed are the state champions, All-State selections from the Arizona Republic and the All-Southern Arizona performers.

There were no state champions in Division III from Southern Arizona.

Salpointe’s Michaela Crunkleton Wilson is only a sophomore but she came so close to being the Athlete of the Year. Canyon del Oro senior Jaide Stepter took the honors thanks to her win in the long jump to go along with her record setting year.

Stepter is on her way to USC and Crunkleton Wilson is a sure bet to capture the next two titles but she will have to battle it out with Sarah Macdonald of Pusch Ridge.

Elmer Yazzie’s Pusch Ridge team took the state championship thanks to four medals by Macdonald and a bunch of high performances from all of his girls. It was team effort that ultimately gave him the win and the praise as a coach.

The first athlete listed is on the first team, the second on the second team and the third is on the third team for each event.

I have also broken it down to each division with the same formula for first, second and third team.
