Name: Heather Bates
High School: Pine Creek High School
Signing With: The University of Colorado at Boulder.
What clinched the decision for the school you signed with:
I chose the University of Colorado because of the coaches. They know what they are doing and I felt that I could really thrive under their direction. Plus I get to stay in beautiful Colorado!
Your favorite high school track event:
This is a hard one! I guess I will say the 3200m is my favorite track event, but the 1600m is a close second.
Your favorite high school athletic memory:
My favorite athletic memory from the past four years was turning the final corner into the stadium at the State Cross Country Championships. That course totally suited me and my season goal was that 5A state title, so it felt incredible to win. Making it to NXN with my team was also a favorite memory of mine.
