Allison was not competing in the 9-29-13 Clemson Cross Country Race, but was there to support her team. Annie raced in the “B” level at Clemson and ended up winning that division, so the race officials required her to move up to the “A” level in the next races. Annie, a senior in High School, races for Veritas Christian Academy and Sycamore Cycles, where she works.
