Olivia Ekponé was a seemingly unbeatable sprinter at Thomas S. Wootton and Northwest high schools before graduating in 2011. She won about 20 combined indoor and outdoor state championships in a number of different sprints and relays — the first five of which came at Wootton.

Now, Ekponé is doing much of the same at Texas A&M.

At the NCAA West Region preliminary meet last weekend in Fayetteville, Ark., she placed first in the 200 meters and third in the 100 to qualify for the national championships. She will also be a part of the Aggies’ 400 and 1,600 relay teams.

The national championship meet is scheduled for June 11-14 in Eugene, Ore.
