“Caroline Hood really only hit one speed bump all season (at the state meet), but her landmark performance at Nike regionals a couple weeks later was a statement. Her performances at other major invitationals throughout the season set her apart in Georgia.”

Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-6 senior became the state’s only prep girl to qualify for a national championship race this past season by taking fifth at the Nike Cross Southeast regional, crossing the line in 17:20.10 to clock the fastest time by a Georgia prep girl in that race’s history. Hood took third at the Class 4A state meet, helping the Knights to the title. She also set a meet record in winning the OrthoWest Invitational with a time of 18:06.83 and won the Alexander/Asics Invitational in a personal-best 17:16.37.

Hood has maintained a 3.91 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a national letter of intent to run on scholarship at Duke University this fall.

An officer in the Buckhead chapter of the National Charity League, she has also donated her time in association with Isdell Center for Global Leadership Council and as part of Lifeteen, a youth group at the Cathedral of Christ the King Catholic Church.
