1997 IHSAA STATE FINALS
November 8, 1997
Indiana University
Bloomington, Indiana
Junior Nicole Williams of Westview captured the individual title and Carmel won the team championship in the 17th Annual Indiana High School Athletic Association Girls Cross Country State Finals on November 8, 1997 at Indiana University in Bloomington.
The state meet was conducted on the I.U. course for the first time under ideal conditions at 50 degrees, sunny skies and with good footing on the hilly layout.
Williams battled to a five-second victory over senior Maria Harriman of West Noble in a winning time of 14:23.13 over the 4,000-meter course. Freshman Elizabeth Wilborne of Zionsville was third, followed by sophomore Molly Dattilo of Madison and senior Cody Sohn of Carmel.
Sohn led a pack of Greyhounds among the top 40 finishers as Carmel won its third straight title and ninth overall. All of championship teams were coached by Chuck Koeppen. Also scoring for Carmel were junior Julie Ham (eighth individually), freshman Lindsey Vannata (31st), sophomore Amy Marshall (33rd) and junior Greta Hockett (37th).
Maria Harriman, a senior at West Noble High School, was selected by the IHSAA Executive Committee to receive the Mental Attitude in Girls Cross Country. Harriman was the first West Noble athlete in any sport to receive an IHSAA mental attitude award.
Farm Bureau Insurance, corporate partner of the IHSAA, presented a $1,000 check to West Noble High School in Harriman's name.
