For the First time since 1993, CAM is celebrating a state champion. Ada Hansen ran a 1:02.97 in the 400m hurdles to give the Cougars just their second ever title in a running event. Although there were some jitters, Hansen battled through them to get off to a solid start.

Although she won by 2.09 seconds, Hansen was unaware of where her competitors were entering the home stretch. However, she knew she had to keep it in high gear.

Being just a sophomore, it’s not hard to see Hansen sticking around in the event for years to come.

No stranger to the moment, she knew what it meant not only to her but to her team and her community.

Hansen joins Marne Harris as CAM’s only state champions.
