✈️ NEHS Athletics | Annalee Williams Soars to a Top-5 Finish at State 🏅

✈️🏅 Congratulations to Northeastern freshman Annalee Williams on an incredible performance at the Division IV State Track & Field Championships!

In her first trip to the state meet, Annalee soared to a 5th-place finish in the high jump, clearing 5’4” to earn a spot on the podium among Ohio’s best.

As if a top-five finish in the state wasn’t impressive enough, her jump also tied the Northeastern High School record of 5’4”, matching the mark set by Lynette Dickerson in 1984.

From takeoff to landing, Annalee put together a remarkable season, and this state finish was the perfect way to cap it off. The future is bright for this Jet, and we can’t wait to see how high she’ll fly over the next three years.

Congratulations, Annalee! ❤️💛✈️
