There's a 16 year old Dutch girl named Abigail Noruwa who deserves recruiting attention for that class. She is very scrappy like Amina Maatoug, albeit markedly different body types and events.

Noruwa was a sprint hurdler who started experimenting with longer distances and quickly won the Dutch U18 championships last summer. Not a great time but the close reveals how tenacious she is, splitting traffic to move from 3rd to 1st within the final meters:

Noruwa recently attended a 2-day camp at Papendal, training alongside the national team and going through the battery of tests. Meuwly and Peters must have steered her toward 400 hurdles because all of a sudden she's running that event for the first time. Her debut a couple of weeks ago was a respectable 1:01.36 and today in her second try she dropped 2 full seconds to 59.35. That is 4th in the world at U18 for 2023.

I'm mentioning her here because I'm not sure many American college programs are aware of her. That versatility and 400 hurdles trajectory could be very valuable. Noruwa is listed on Slamstox as aspiring to the Class of 2024 and a major track and field program. She does need to work on her grades a bit, given 2.8 GPA as of a year ago:
