Stillwater High School track and field standout Gianna Locci signed a letter of intent with Duke University for D1 track & field at a Nov. 16, 2021, ceremony in the high school gym lobby.

“Congratulations to Gianna on officially signing a letter of intent with Duke University for track and field,” said Mike Kinney, athletic director/PE department chair. “She will compete in the long jump, triple jump and short sprints.”

Among her many athletic accomplishments, Gianna holds the Section 2 record for the long jump.
