Meet the 2024 Daily News Girls Outdoor Track & Field All-Star Team Members

After reviewing statistics and results, and with guidance from local athletic directors and coaches, the Daily News selected All-Stars for baseball, softball, boys’ and girls’ lacrosse, boys’ and girls’ tennis, boys’ and girls’ track and field, boys’ and girls’ volleyball, and rugby.

While the sports and skill sets may differ, there’s no denying that this group has produced out-of-this-world results this spring as they help their respective teams achieve success — whether that was on the court, court or field.

Without further ado, the Daily News presents the 2024 Girls Outdoor Track and Field All-Stars:
