Up next in our series is 2016 Air Academy (CO) graduate Katie Rainsberger, the Gatorade National Runner of the Year award-winner in cross country in 2015 who has become a multiple-time All-American at the collegiate level across her time at the University of Oregon and the University of Washington. In high school, Rainsberger won Nike Cross Nationals in 2015 and finished seventh in the 3K at the 2016 World U20 Championships in Poland.
