2.
Athlete: Kelsey Chmiel
Year: Senior, Class of 2019
School: Saratoga Springs (NY)
Analysis: The New York star is headed for another jam-packed schedule in 2018. But she's coming of her best campaign yet. She finished 2017 in Scotland at the Great Edinburgh XCountry Challenge, where she won her first international race in 14:10.00. She was second at NXN and second at the New York Federation meet, second at the New York Class A race. She set a 5K PR at Great American in 16:50 -- before she broke that time with her opener in 2018.
She's undoubtedly one of the top athletes in the country this fall.
