***COMMITMENT ALERT!!!***

Congratulations to Cross Country and Track standout Suzy Mumford on her commitment to Alice Lloyd College!!

Suzy has been a huge part of our programs in her two seasons of competition. She has been a main contributor in back to back Region Championship Teams in both Cross Country and Track, as well as the Girls Cross Country teams that placed 3rd and 4th in the KHSAA State Championships in consecutive seasons.

Suzy is an incredible worker who has improved so much during her career. She's only just begun to scratch the surface of her potential as a runner. We are so very proud of this opportunity that she has earned for herself.

Suzy becomes the 53rd college signee from the Track and Cross Country programs at Harlan County High School since 2008.

Congratulations, Suzy! We are so proud of you!!
