Seven Hills senior track & field star Mackenzie Hartman racked up seven conference championships and three Ohio state championships in her great varsity career.

Her junior year, Mackenzie was the Div. III Ohio state outdoor track & field champion in the 100 meter hurdles, 300 meter hurdles and the long jump. She is also the two-time MVC champion in those events, plus was also the 200 dash champion last season. She is also the Ohio state indoor champion in two events and has competed on a national level.

Mackenzie holds two district records (100 meter hurdles, 14.25; 300 meter hurdles, 43.87) plus five outdoor school records and five indoor school records. She was the 2021 MVC Track & Field Athlete of the Year as well as Cincinnati Div. III Runner of the Year (Enquirer).

An honor roll student who is very active in community service, Mackenzie was a member of Student Government and the 7UP Spirit club. She also played soccer (seven goals, two assists last season and was named honorable mention all-MVC) and at one time played softball and was a cheerleader. She will attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

COACH'S QUOTE – "First, Mackenzie loves to hurdle. Second, Mackenzie loves to compete. Third, Mackenzie genuinely loves the sport of track and field. All qualities that have helped her to become one of the best in the State."
