I do not know if there is enough space on this paper to elaborate on what Abby has done for all three sports while at Milton HS. Starting with track which she only ran her freshman year, of course she excelled. Coming from a running family it was easy to see Abby was a talented runner but also had the work ethic to become an even better runner. After a great freshman cross country season, Abby reluctantly decided to run track versus playing soccer and in just that one season she made her mark on the team & the record board! Besides running top-10 all-time marks in the 800 & mile/1600m, Abby's biggest race came at the Fulton County Championship meet where from the slower heat of the event, Abby not only won the heat but placed 4th overall in the event where she had to run her heat from the front and all-out to put down a time that would help the team and score points.



I can't talk a lot about her soccer career, but her sophomore year was incredible as the team made it to the state championship game and lost a tough match to Parkview. Abby excelled on the soccer team and remained a starter for the rest of her time at Milton. Her junior year saw her tear her ACL thus curtailing her season and this season her senior season was going strong & was also a captain until it had to be suspended.



Abby's cross country career was one of incredible performances. She qualified for the state meet 3 times as an individual and her sophomore year she won the 2017 Fulton County Championship. Abby's senior season saw her incredible recovery from her torn ACL to help lead the team and also become captain. The girl's cross country team at Milton finished 4th, 3rd, 4th & 5th at the state meet the 4 years Abby was on the team.

Abby heads to the University of Georgia next fall, following her parents who went there and competed there. Abby was a leader on and off the trail, the track & the pitch and one student-athlete that knew hard work along with talent and skill would make her an even better athlete and person. Congratulations Abby!
