Girls Cross Country - Kansas

“Hope is incredibly humble, yet driven. Her attention to detail and adherence to our teams’ principle of doing things right all the time has made her a model and a leader for every athlete on her team, both male and female. Her tireless work effort, commitment to excellence, and willingness to endure the discipline and pain tolerance involved in pursuing excellence in her sport is a testament to her extraordinary character as an athlete and person. I can’t think of an athlete who I have had the pleasure of coaching over the last 20 years who has been more deserving of this award.”
