Claire Wetick Named Gatorade Tennessee Girls Track and Field Player of the Year

In June, senior Claire Wetick was named the 2025-26 Gatorade Tennessee Girls Track and Field Player of the Year. This the top honor in high school sports, celebrating the nation’s best athletes for their excellence in sport, academics and community. At assembly this week we had the honor of presenting Claire with her official banner which will be displayed in the Davis Gym. 

From the June Gatorade press release:

"The 5-foot-8 junior pole-vaulter and hurdler earned All-American honors with a second-place in the pole vault at the Nike Outdoor Nationals earlier this month, clearing 13 feet, 4.5 inches. Wetick also won the event at the Division 2 Class AA state championship meet with a personal-best height of 13-8, which ranked No. 7 nationally among prep girls competitors this spring. She also took second at states in the 100-meter hurdles in 14.75 seconds—another PR—and third in the 300 hurdles in a personal-best tie of 44.8.

The Business Manager of the St. Agnes Student Government Association, Wetick has volunteered locally leading a schoolwide recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month last October. She has also donated her time as a Freshman Student Orientation leader and as a peer mentor, helping to organize the two-day event for incoming freshmen.

“Claire is the most committed athlete I’ve ever been around,” said Jacob Reeves, St. Agnes head coach. “I’ve never been around another athlete who has the work ethic, dedication and commitment to excellence that she does. One of her best attributes is that she’s also a passionate supporter of her teammates. She’s always very encouraging as she watches and hears about their performances.”

Wetick has maintained a 4.82 weighted GPA in the classroom. She will begin her senior year of high school this fall."
