Knox College Prairie Fire

Hilliard, a senior from Boulder, Colorado, has emerged as an important cog for the Prairie Fire this fall. She joined the track and field team last spring as a mid-distance runner, and is now running distance for the cross country team for the first time collegiately. She not only ran a personal best in a 6K race this past Saturday, she was the second among the Knox entrants to cross the tape. She was one of three Prairie Fire runners to post a PR on the day as the team starts to gear up for the Midwest Conference championship at the start of November.
