St. Petersburg Celebrates IMG Academy’s Historic Relay Team Achievements

In the vibrant city of St. Petersburg, excitement is buzzing as IMG Academy’s girls 4×800 meter relay team has recently made headlines by capturing their fourth major title in the 2025 season. This team of young athletes, featuring talented members Aurora Bertelsen Del Solar, Mackenzie Winning, Danielle Graham, and Anyla Robinson, has been on a thrilling ride of success!

A Season to Remember

These remarkable girls have taken on some of the most prestigious events in track and field, winning the Millrose Games, Indoor Nationals, Penn Relays, and most recently, the New Balance Nationals Outdoor. Each competition brought its own set of challenges, but this powerhouse team rose to the occasion with remarkable performances.

The New Balance Nationals Outdoor marked their latest achievement, where they not only clinched the title but also showcased their incredible progress by breaking and setting their own records in the 4×800 meter relay event.

Record-Breaking Performances

It all began at the Millrose Games, where the team set a Florida indoor high school record with an impressive time of 8:55.47 seconds. This hard work and discipline led them to set a new national high school indoor record, clocking in at 8:46.04 seconds—a full two seconds faster than the previous record. The accolades didn’t stop there; their performance at the Penn Relays took it to another level, achieving a jaw-dropping time of 8:40.51 seconds. This secured both a new Florida all-time record for the 4×800 meter relay and a pace comparable to winning at the collegiate level!

What’s truly remarkable is that this dynamic team consists of three juniors and one sophomore, demonstrating not only skill but immense potential for the future. Their commitment is worthy of applause as they began training together back in August, quickly making a name for themselves in the highly competitive landscape of high school athletics.

More Achievements at IMG Academy

IMG Academy’s success doesn’t stop with the relay team; there have been several outstanding individual performances as well. Yuliya Maslouskaya showcased her talent by winning the girls heptathlon outdoor national title, marking a score that ranks among the all-time best in U.S. high school history. Meanwhile, freshman Winston Schroder made waves by winning the boys decathlon outdoor national championship, a historical milestone as he is the first freshman to take home this title.

Additionally, Mikey Swanson and Reegan Clutter impressed spectators by setting meet records in the 400-meter and javelin events, respectively. The achievements of these athletes are a source of inspiration and excitement for the community, showcasing the exceptional talent at IMG Academy.

Local Teams Shine as Well

While IMG Academy has been dominant, local teams have also made their presence felt. At the Penn Relays, Rumson-Fair Haven’s 4×800 girls relay team earned a commendable fifth place with a program-record time of 9:04.11. This marks a fantastic improvement compared to their finishes of 11th in 2023 and eighth in 2024, highlighting their continued growth and determination, especially while competing against all-star teams like IMG Academy.

What Lies Ahead

As the 2025 season progresses, the future looks bright for both IMG Academy and local competitors. With an influx of talented young athletes showing unparalleled dedication to their craft, the community is eagerly anticipating more record-breaking performances and exciting competitions ahead. Whether cheering from the sidelines or on the track, everyone can feel the energy and spirit of these remarkable young women as they redefine the boundaries of high school athletics.
