Newsday's Top 50 Long Island Girls Track and Field Athletes for 2025

Breanne Barnett, Baldwin, Jr.

The indoor season’s top-ranked runner and state champion in the 300 will run outdoor track for Baldwin for the first time in her high school career. In June, while running for her club team, Barnett registered a 24.13 in the 200, which was second in the state. In March, she ran a state-best 54.75 in the 400. She has also run the anchor leg for each of Baldwin’s three consecutive 4 x 200 relay indoor state championships.

Sariah Doresca, Baldwin, Sr.

The three-time state champion in the 55 has never run outdoor track for Baldwin before this spring. Doresca was the leadoff runner for Baldwin’s three consecutive 4 x 200 relay state titles. While running for her club team in 2024, Doresca ranked third in the state in both the 100 and 200 with an 11.78 and 24.28, respectively.

Jahzara Emeli, Baldwin, Sr.

Much like Barnett and Doresca, Emeli has only ever run outdoor track for her club team. Emeli sprinted 24.98 in the 200 at the U.S. Marine Corps Holiday Classic in December, which is fourth among returning Long Islanders.
