All-Carroll County Girls Cross Country

girls cross country
RUNNER OF THE YEAR


Katie Hursey
North Carroll

Hursey, who last month signed a national letter of intent to run cross country and track at Syracuse, repeated as Carroll County, regional and Monocacy Valley Athletic League Chesapeake Conference champion before finishing a close second at the Class 3A state meet. She also captured the medium schools division of the Bull Run Invitational, as well as the Gettysburg, Westminster and South Carroll invitationals.

This is her second straight Runner of the Year honor in only her second season of competing in cross country. A former qualifier for the YMCA Swimming and Diving National Championships, Hursey hopes to continue that sport on the side in college, and some day compete in triathlons.

COACH OF THE YEAR
Kristin Stickles
Century

In her first year as coach, Stickles led her team to Carroll County and Class 2A West championships, as well as a third-place finish at the Class 2A state meet. The young Knights finished as the runners-up in the Monocacy Valley Athletic League Chesapeake Conference and captured a title at the Mountain Run Invitational.

Stickles, who ran at Howard High in the late 1990s and has since competed in three marathons, took over the program with fiancƩ Grant Hadden, Century's boys coach. Her father, Kevin Stickles, also played a major role as an assistant.
