Personal records are certainly one reason that Katie Yoho was chosen as the girls cross country September 2022 Athlete of the Month. But her leadership on the team when it was needed most also played a part, according to coach Mary Marr.

A four-year cross country team member, Katie has stepped up as a leader and a performer during the 2022 season. She set a new personal record at Liberty Bell and was a major contributor for the varsity team at other events.

“Katie has taken on a leadership role with our younger athletes this season, making sure they are prepared at meets and being their biggest supporters. She is the first to arrive and the last to leave, helping anywhere she is needed.”
