🏆 Congratulations to Chandler High’s own Imani Galera-Young on being named The Arizona Republic’s 2026 Girls Track & Field Athlete of the Year! 🏆

Imani put together a season that will be remembered for years to come. The Arkansas signee shattered the Arizona state record in the 300-meter hurdles, clocking an incredible 40.65, and proved herself as one of the nation’s elite hurdlers.

She captured AIA Division I and State Championships in both the 100-meter hurdles and 300-meter hurdles, showcasing consistency, determination, and dominance on the track. In the 300-meter hurdles, Imani won 8 of her 9 races, and she closed out her senior season with a blazing 13.53 in the 100-meter hurdles, finishing No. 2 in Arizona.

Imani’s work ethic, leadership, and competitive spirit have made an impact far beyond Chandler High School.

Her support and training comes from hurdle coaching staff Michelle Reynolds-Flanagan who is one of the best hurdle coaches in the history of Chandler High Track and Field along with Cynthia Washington, and TJ Green one of her previous high school prodigies.

We are so proud of all that she has accomplished and cannot wait to see what she achieves next as a Razorback.

Congratulations, Imani! Your Chandler family is cheering you on every step of the way. Once a Wolf, always a Wolf! 🐺
