WEST LIBERTY — Whether it’s on the cross country course, indoor track or classroom, Union Local grad Hannah Kemp has simply gotten it done since she arrived on the Hilltopper campus in August.

Kemp was bestowed another academic honor Thursday when she was honored by the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.

This award combines the academic side of college with the athletic performance because to be recognized, a student-athlete must finish in the top 30 percent of his or her respective regional meet.

Kemp was one of 403 female runners to be recognized nationally.

This award follows up an impressive showing at the SPIRE Institute last weekend where she set a new West Liberty school record in the mile run in 5:20, which is the second best time in the Mountain East Conference this winter.
