Goins said the recognition reflects the city's effort to honor notable athletic accomplishments.

"The city and the high school both feel the same way about Rayna's accomplishments," Mayor Goins said. "We recognized the girls' basketball team after their performance at state in front of the city council. The girls deserved that recognition, and so does Rayna. She has already left a legacy here in Alton and at the high school."

Raglin is set to join the women's track and field team at South Florida State University this fall for the Panthers.
