The 5-foot-6 senior captured the LHSAA State Class 3A title this past season, running in historically cold and poor course conditions to break the tape in 22:04.20—one minute and 47.3 seconds ahead of her next-closest competitor—and leading the Cardinals to the state class title. Nusloch won seven of her eight races last fall, including her last seven in a row, and was the state’s only girl to clock three sub-18 three-mile times in 2018.
Nusloch has maintained a 3.93 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a National Letter of Intent to compete in cross country and track and field on scholarship at Rhodes College (Tenn.) this fall.
The Winner of the Junior Class Courtesy and Respect Award in 2017, Nusloch has completed a service-mission trip to Nicaragua in association with Amigos for Christ, helping to bring clean water to low-income communities. She also participated in a service-mission trip to Chicago as part of Food Deserts in the Land of Plenty, volunteering at the Greater Chicago Food Depository and a food pantry to study the negative health effects of life in a “food desert.”
