We are less than a week away from our NWI XC Preview Show!! If you’re a high school athlete and you haven’t signed up what are you waiting for??

*Sign up link in our bio

One of many of our collegiate athletes to come back is none other than Highland’s own Grace Aurand! Grace led her Trojan team twice to a runner up finish in the Sectional. She also was a three time all-conference NCC honoree while also qualifying for the IHSAA State Finals in 2018. Grace not only was diligent on the course but off the course as she was given All-State Academic Honors.

Grace graduated this past May from Valparaiso University with a degree in Political Science and English, not before she was done rewriting the VU record books. Grace holds 3 of the top 5 marks for the Beacons in the 1500 m, 5000 m, and 6K for XC. Grace has an extra year of eligibility and is currently pursuing her Masters in Public Administration at Western Michigan while competing for the Bronchos.

Thank you Grace for taking the time and opportunity to share your experience during our NWI Region Collegiate Panel!
