FRESHMAN BECOMES FIRST NORTHEASTERN GIRL TO COMPETE IN STATE FINALS
(Fountain City, IN)--With a shot from a starter's pistol Saturday afternoon in Terre Haute, more than 200 girls will break into a 3.1 mile run, and one of them is a Northeastern High School groundbreaker. Hayden Neagle is the first girl in Northeastern school history to qualify for the girls cross country state finals, and she’s just a freshman. "I'm excited to face competition and girls that are faster than me," Hayden said. She talked about what motivates her. "I like to be able to push myself and do things that are hard - that some people can't do." Hayden has won more than 75% of the races she’s run so far this year.
