Union County runner is Charlotte Observer athlete of the week
A girls cross-country runner from Cuthbertson High School is the Charlotte Observer athlete of the week.
Madeline Hill received nearly 64 percent of the vote this week.
The Cavaliers’ senior won the Southern Carolinas’ Conference championship by running the all-time best time (female) on Weddington’s course (18:05.40) Jan. 7.
Hill, an East Carolina University commit, was followed by Cuthbertson sophomore and runner-up Alyssa Preisano, giving the Cavaliers the top two finishers in each of the last four years.
