To say Union Local graduate Hannah Kemp had an impressive freshman season in cross country at West Liberty University wouldn’t be doing her anywhere near enough justice.

Kemp was the unquestioned top competitor for the Hilltoppers. Actually, she was one of the premier runners in the Mountain East Conference and taking that a step farther, she was one of the premier runners in the Atlantic Region.

She proved that last Saturday in the regional cross country championship at Lock Haven University. She finished 10th overall, which is the highest place by a Hilltopper harrier in program history.

Kemp crossed the line in 22 minutes, 6.9 seconds to earn all-Atlantic Region honors. Earlier this season, Kemp was named MEC Runner of the Week and late last month she earned all-MEC.
