On track: Iowa Class of 2020 breakdown

<p></p> <p>Where stats and accolades don't tell the full story of a recruit, track and field might just fill in the blanks.</p> <p>The spring track and field season is on hold in Iowa, but a closer look at running, jumping and throwing totals is a way to gauge raw athleticism in Hawkeye State prospects. Using QuikStatsIowa.com, PrepDig cross-referenced its rankings with how recruits fared on the track.</p> <p><em>NOTE: We used QuikStats' figures from the 2019 track season because it represents the most recent, comprehensive data set. While Iowa indoor track season was underway just prior to the shutdown of sports, not every high school had participated in meets, which would've excluded athletes on the list.</em></p> <p>Here is a look at Iowa athletes in our rankings for the 2020 class from the 2019 track season:</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>CLASS OF 2020</strong></span></p> <p></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="17089" first="Aliyah" last="Carter"]</strong></p> <p>School: Wahlert</p> <p>PrepDig rank: 2</p> <p>Commitment: Kansas State</p> <p>Club: Early graduate</p> <p>High jump: 5-6</p> <p>Long jump: 18-8.5</p> <p>Comment: It's easy to see why Kansas State coveted the 5-foot-9 Carter, who won the last two Class 3A state long jump championships.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="78321" first="Sommer" last="Daniel"]</strong></p> <p>School: Tipton</p> <p>PrepDig rank: 4</p> <p>Commitment: Utah</p> <p>Club: Early graduate</p> <p>High jump: 5-0</p> <p>400 dash: 1:05.14</p> <p><strong>Helaina Hillyard</strong></p> <p>School: Mediapolis</p> <p>PrepDig rank: 15</p> <p>Commitment: Western Illinois</p> <p>Club: Adrenaline</p> <p>High jump: 5-4</p> <p>Long jump: 16-10</p> <p>100 dash: 12.84</p> <p>200 dash: 27.21</p> <p>400: 1:04.96</p> <p>Comment: She had the 17^th highest jump in Iowa while showcasing plenty of range in running events.
