Alyssa Andrews of Gig Harbor has been named Washington's Gatorade Girls Cross Country Runner of the Year.
Andrews, a senior with a 4.0 GPA, won the individual title with a time of 18 minutes at the Class 4A state meet in November, helping Gig Harbor to a second-place finish.
"This was her first year as a full-time runner and she showed huge improvements due to her single focus," Tides coach Patty Ley said. "She dominated the field at the Nike Regional. There were state champions from Oregon, Idaho and Alaska, but she simply ran away from the field and made it look easy."
Andrews has not yet chosen a college to attend.
