The Hamilton County Reporter has named Carmel senior Kole Mathison as its Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year and Guerin Catholic senior Bridget Gallagher as its Girls Cross Country Runner of the Year.
Mathison had a perfect season and was a key factor in the Greyhounds boys team winning a state championship. Mathison won the regional, semi-state and individual state titles, and also dominated the regular season, finishing first in the Hamilton County, Flashrock, Eagle Classic and Nike Twilight meets.
Gallagher had a solid season, with wins at the county meet, sectional and Hometown Savings Bank State Preview Meet, which was run on the LaVern Gibson Championship Course in Terre Haute. Gallagher returned to the Gibson course for the state meet, where she finished sixth, the highest place of any county girl.
Both Mathison and Gallagher won the Mental Attitude Award for their respective genders at the conclusion of the state meet. Those file photos are pictured here.
