In the 55-meter dash, she once again claimed the second spot with a time of 6.75 seconds.

Hodge played a pivotal role in setting the tempo for the Eagles, leading the team to victory in the 4 x 400-meter relay with an American girls’ high school indoor record time of 3:37.63.

A twelfth-grader in her second year at MVA, Hodge recently committed to continuing her track and field career at The University of Georgia.

Looking ahead, Hodge and the entire indoor track & field roster are gearing up for their next challenge at the RADD Sunshine Showcase in Gainesville, FL, scheduled for Saturday, January 20, and Sunday, January 21. Montverde Academy continues to celebrate the exceptional achievements of its student-athletes, reinforcing its commitment to excellence in both academics and athletics.
