Junior Zamarii Sanders of Cardinal Newman, running for the Crusaders, deserves the hype of defending his NBNO 100m title. Overlooked by some, there was never a doubt that he was capable of defending. Sanders had a good start, was out quick and confidently powered to his win. In addition to defending his NBNO 100m title, he is the FHSAA 2A state 100m and 200m champion, and in 2024 and 2025, head-to-head, he has only lost one 100m Final! Sanders won his second title with a 10.35, edging out senior Ja'Neil Harris of the All American Project and the favorite, Jake Odey-Jordan of Archbishop Carroll. Harris ran 10.42 and Odey-Jordan 10.43.
Florida was well represented in the NBN0 final with senior Dylan Woodruffe of the IMG Elite placing sixth in 10.56 and junior Miles Outerbridge of Montverde Academy seventh in 10.62.
