“As for any outstanding runners, Clara Gahm has had a lot of success this past season, even coming off of a hip injury from August. Unfortunately, she missed the majority of cross country; however, [she] made an incredible recovery. Clara won SCCs for the 1000 and was also a member of the 4x800 team that won SCCs as well. Clara also came in fifth for the Class L Championships with a time of 3:03, setting a school record for the 1000. All of the girls on the team look up to her. She has a constant positive attitude and smile on her face that inspires us all to work harder,” said Suchy.
