Felton, Calif.
School: San Lorenzo Valley (Felton, Calif.) (enrollment 806)
Class: 2014
Sports: Cross country, track and field (800, 1,600 and 3,200)
College plans: The recruiting process is just heating up and Maxwell is looking at primarily Pacific-12 Conference schools. She also visited Duke and North Carolina while competing in the New Balance National Championships in Greensboro last month. She hasn’t selected her official visits yet.
"I’m honestly going to try to have fun with it and not get too stressed," said Maxwell, who plans to major in either engineering or environmental law.
Favorite athletes: Steve Prefontaine ("I watched all his movies and videos as a freshman when I really started running," she said.), Shalane Flanagan ("she’s awesome") and Kara Goucher ("I met her at a running camp. Amazing.").
CoachSpeak: "Anna strives to be the best she can be at everything. She’s very competitive with herself. … Beyond being an elite runner, what we all love about Anna is she’s so very quiet and humble. You’ll never hear her talking about herself."
— San Lorenzo Valley coach Rob Collins
