Freshman Katie Head hands participates in a track meet.

Freshman Katie Head joined the cross country and track team this year with big shoes to fill since her brother junior Andrew Head is one of the top distance runners for the school. Katie spends six days a week practicing during the track and cross country season as well as practicing during the off seasons. Her hard work and dedication makes her stand out as one of the top female athletes on the track team.

“I feel like I have high pressure put on me because I’m Andrew’s sister,” Katie said. “I’ve been trying to improve myself as an athlete and perform to the best of my abilities.”
