Autumn Nold from Dora was the runaway winner from the fans voting for
the Class 1 senior of the year.
She earned 66% of
the votes garnered.
Nold took 13th
place this past fall at the MSHSAA Class 1 XC Championships - her
third straight year earning all-state accolades. She was 54th
as a freshman and then took 21st in 2020 and then 20th
in 2021.
This season she
posted seven top-10 finishes for Dora.
Nold isn't a
distance runner in the outdoor season though, instead, she is a
sprinter. She was an all-stater in the 400-meter dash last spring while qualifying for state in the 100-meter dash.
The other nominees
were Josie Villard of Christian, Andrea Riley from South Nodaway (Platte Valley), Maddie Homfeldt from
Calvary Lutheran and Kendra Zeilstra of Brunswick.
