Harting was nominated by athletic administrator Trent Kreischer, who noted she serves as a great example with service and academics. Head coach Jeff Bagley described Harting, who will run in Saturday’s Division III regionals, as an exemplary teammate who works hard for her team and carries herself in a genuine, humble manner.
