“You are the author of your own destiny; write yourself into history books.” ― Matshona Dhliwayo One last race to finish the indoor season, the Girls 1 Mile race. Again, Katy Zang toed the line for the New Balance Indoor Nationals. After her performance on Friday, there was much anticipation as again she took on an elite group of high school girls from across the country. Climbing the mountain is hard, staying on top is even more difficult. In a race she hadn’t competed in all season, Katy again showed determination and fearlessness with her racing. Going out to a lead early and running with a sense of freedom and fun, Katy again would cross the line first becoming a National Champion in the Indoor 1 mile and setting not only a meet record, but a state record. An incredible performance to cap off an incredible weekend and indoor season for Katy. Zach Frank
