BRR Girls Postseason Award Winners

Most Improved: Minori Hudson, Dublin Coffman

What a year it was for Dublin Coffman senior Minori Hudson. While dealing with severe anemia, a condition related to low iron levels, Hudson ran 7:07 in the 1600 and 2:53 in the 800 during the 2024 indoor season and did not compete in outdoor track that year. Since then, she has addressed her iron deficiency and returned as a completely different runner. Her improvement has been jaw-dropping. During the 2025 indoor season, she improved her personal best in the 800 to 2:15—a 38-second drop from the year before. Then, in the outdoor season, she shifted her focus to the 1600, and it paid off. She opened her season with a 5:14 and worked her way down to 4:55 at the state meet, earning an eighth-place All-Ohio finish.

Rising Star: Bella Conforti, Olentangy Orange

While her junior teammate often garners the most attention for Olentangy Orange, sophomore Bella Conforti should not be overlooked. Her talent, paired with Brooke Chapman, makes them one of the best duos in the state. As a sophomore, Conforti ran impressive times of 2:23 in the 800, 5:00 in the 1600, and 10:43 in the 3200, qualifying for states in the latter event. She also captured two wins: the 1600 at the Stingel Invite and the 3200 at the Delaware Track & Field Invitational. If she continues on this trajectory, an individual state title could very well be in her future.

MVP: Celia Schulte, Hilliard Davidson

Hilliard Davidson junior Celia Schulte put the entire state of Ohio on notice this season, showcasing absolute dominance in the 800. The highlight of her season came at the state meet, where she smashed the state record in the event, running a blistering 2:04.65—one of the top times in the nation. Schulte finished the outdoor season undefeated in Ohio, winning races ranging from the 400 to the 3200. Beyond her individual accolades, she played a crucial role in Hilliard Davidson’s 4x800 state championship, anchoring the relay and making up a significant deficit to help secure the Wildcats’ back-to-back state titles in the event.
