Motycka opened her 2026 campaign with an outstanding indoor season, running for the No Excuses RC, capturing FLYRA Indoor Championships titles in the 800m (2:23.82), One Mile (5:09.77), and 3000m (10:04.51). She carried that momentum into the outdoor season, where she claimed the FLYRA State Championship in the 3000m with a winning time of 10:04.51.
Just one week later at the RunningLane Track Championships, Motycka continued her impressive season by running 5:15.13 in the Mile and 11:05.14 in the 3200m.
Motycka is well on her way to becoming one of Florida's all-time top distance running talents, and her performances this season have continued to firmly establish her among the state and nation's top middle school distance runners:
- 1500m - 4:52.68 Florida No. 4 overall and Florida No. 1 among seventh-graders.
- Mile - 5:15.13 (4:51.78 converted 1500m) Florida No. 1, U.S. No. 4 among seventh-graders, and Florida No. 12 all-time.
- 3000m - 10:04.51 Florida Middle School No. 6 all-time and Florida No. 4 all-time among seventh-graders.
- 3200m - 11:05.14 (10:19.51 converted 3000m) Florida No. 2 all-time among seventh-graders and U.S. No. 8 all-time among seventh-graders.
