PAGES: Calendar | Rankings | Results

In the world of Mississippi middle school track and field, a young star has emerged, setting the track ablaze with her speed and determination. Today, we turn the spotlight onto Port Gibson's Amari Trevillion, a seventh-grade prodigy who has been making serious waves in the 400-meter run.

Trevillion's prowess in the sport is impressive, to say the least. Achieving a sub-60 time of 59.80 seconds in the 400-meter run is no small feat for any athlete. Still, for a seventh-grader, it's an astonishing accomplishment that signifies a promising future in track and field.

Such outstanding performance is rare, and it has not gone unnoticed. The highlight of Trevillion's early career came at the 2023 MHSAA 3A Track and Field Championships, where she outstripped her competition to claim the MHSAA 3A title. The sight of this young runner battling it out on the track, holding her own against more experienced varsity athletes, and clinching the title in a nail-biting finish was nothing short of inspirational. A seventh-grader winning a varsity title is an achievement that speaks volumes about Trevillion's talent and potential.

With her phenomenal 400m personal record, Trevillion has etched her name in the record books. She finished the season ranked as the No. 2 seventh-grader in Mississippi. Better yet, on a national level, Trevillion's remarkable time places her as the No. 9 seventh-grader in the United States. Such high rankings amongst her peers indicate that we are witnessing the rise of a future track and field sensation.

Trevillion's early success lays the foundation for what is set to be an exceptional track career. Her speed, coupled with her unwavering determination and competitive spirit, sets her apart from the crowd. As we celebrate Future Stars Friday, we can't help but eagerly anticipate the heights this young athlete will reach in the coming years.

Today, she's a middle school track star; tomorrow, she may very well be a household name in the sport.
