Mia Maxwell Named Gatorade Texas Girls Player Of The Year

Maxwell proved to be a dynamic force across multiple disciplines, excelling in the 100m, 200m, and triple jump. In the 100m, she delivered a record-breaking performance at the UIL State Championships, winning in a wind-legal 11.04 (+1.1) to set both the state meet record and the overall Texas state record. She navigated Texas' rigorous qualifying rounds-district, area, regionals, and state-without a single loss in the 100m, winning each race and averaging 11.44 over six rounds.

After the state meet, Maxwell continued her winning ways on the national stage. She claimed titles at the Brooks PR Invitational (11.04) and Nike Outdoor Nationals (11.35) in the 100m, and finished runner-up at the USATF U20 Championships with a strong 11.21. Though she competed sparingly in the 200m during the outdoor season, she still captured the USATF U20 title with a 23.10.

Maxwell also shined in the triple jump, where she produced five winning jumps over 41 feet. Highlights included a personal best of 42-7.75 at the Generation Park Invitational, a 42-2.25 to claim the UIL 6A state title, and a 41-1.75 victory at Nike Outdoor Nationals.

Off the track, Maxwell is a talented violinist in the Atascocita orchestra. She actively gives back to her community through her work with the district's toy drive for disadvantaged children and through volunteer efforts at her church. In the classroom, she maintains an impressive 3.83 GPA.
