This year’s Ms. Cross Country is the most elite runner the state has ever produced. A three-time 5A champ, at this year’s state meet, she finished one minute faster than the second-fastest runner. At the Nike Cross Nationals last December, she won by 41 seconds and broke the course record. She was also named the Gatorade National Cross Country Runner of the Year, and last Thursday, she set the national record in the mile. From Timpview, Jane Hedengren.
