The 5-foot-2 senior took second at the Class AAA state meet this past season with a time of 18:56.08, leading the Panthers to a second-place finish as a team. Hoffman also broke the tape at the Owensboro City-County Cross Country Meet by more than a minute this past fall. A four-time First Team All-State selection with four top-five finishes at the state meet, she clocked the fastest all-class high school time at the state meet (eighth-grader Ciara O’Shea won the AAA state title) and was the fastest Kentucky runner in seven of 10 races she entered this past fall.
Hoffman has maintained a weighted 3.96 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a National Letter of Intent to compete in cross country and track and field on scholarship at Eastern Kentucky University this fall.
Hoffman has volunteered locally with the Council for Exceptional Children, which advocates for children with disabilities and their families. She has also donated her time to multiple community service initiatives through her church’s youth group.
