Noblesville’s Hannah Alexander won a national championship last weekend.
The Millers senior won the girls weight throw event last Saturday with a top throw of 16.27 meters (53 feet, 4.5 inches), which set a new meet record. This is Alexander’s second national championship; she also won the Girls 15-16 discus throw at the 2022 USATF National Junior Olympic Championships.
The weight throw win adds to Alexander’s long list of accomplishments. In addition to the two national titles, she has also earned six All-American honors, four All-State honors, and is the defending state champion in the discus.
The weight throw is not an event that is contested in Indiana, so Alexander works on the event outside of her school practice times and competitions and competes for her club team. After competing in the Hoosier State Relays indoor meet on Saturday, Alexander will look forward to the outdoor season and to helping the Noblesville girls in their chase for back-to-back team state titles. Alexander will attend Indiana University in the fall and is excited to be part of the Hoosiers women’s track and field team.
