Plainview’s Alex Davis was named the Gatorade Oklahoma Girls Cross Country Runner of the Year, it was announced Thursday.
In addition to recognizing athletic excellence, the award also recognizes academic achievement and exemplary character on an off the course.
The junior won the Class 3A individual state title last year with a time of 11:25, finishing 39 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher and helping Plainview win the team title.
She finished third at the 2011 Nike Cross Nationals South Regional championships and won the Oklahoma Meet of Champions and the Arkansas/Oklahoma All-Star meet.
Davis is now a finalist for the Gatorade national runner of the year, which will be announced later this month.
