Returning Champions: Tahlia Mullen Class B 400m
What are your goals for the upcoming season?
I definitely hope to go sub 60 for the 400m pretty soon. I started breaking 60 about mid season of outdoor, so I hope to bring that same speed to the indoor track. In addition to defending my state title in the 400, I would really like to win states for the 200. I was double state champion outdoor, and I hope to keep that trend going.

Who is your favorite athlete?
