Record-setting CVU runner named Vermont’s top girls track and field athlete by Gatorade

Champlain Valley senior Zoey McNabb has been named the Vermont high school girls track and field athlete for the 2026 season, Gatorade announced Thursday, June 25.

The Gatorade award recognizes athletes for their on-field success, high academic achievement and exemplary character.

In her first year as a competitive runner, the 5-foot-7 McNabb broke long-held state records in the 1500- and 3000-meter races this past spring with times of 4 minutes, 28.59 seconds and 9:24.58, respectively. At the Division I state meet, she swept both events to help the Redhawks claim a team championship three-peat.

Her 3,000 time ranked fourth nationally; her 1,500 performance was good for 12th. At the New England championship meet, McNabb took second in the 3,200 and third in the 1,600. She also ran in five events at New Balance Nationals, where she set the state record in the two mile.

An all-state basketball player for CVU, she has volunteered locally at the Green Mountain Montessori School in Essex in addition to donating her time as a youth basketball coach, according to the news release.

“Zoey was fearless this spring, attacking decades-old records and destroying them,” BFA-St. Albans coach Mike Mashtare said in a statement. “What made her special was how effortless she made it look with her smooth stride and relaxed running style.”

McNabb has maintained an unweighted 4.27 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a written letter of athletic aid to compete on scholarship at the University of Vermont this fall.

As part of Gatorade’s commitment to breaking down barriers in sport, every player of the year also receives a grant to donate to a social impact partner.
