Meet
Lauren Heishman

Central High School Junior Lauren Heishman has been running since middle school.  Coach Wright recruited her to run cross country when she was a freshman, and she's been running for Central High School ever since.  Lauren holds the school record for Central High School's cross country course.  She also won the girls championship for the annual Shenandoah County meet last year.  Lauren hopes to win that meet again this year, in addition to breaking her own record on Central's home course. 

Lauren loves her cross country team, and thinks of them as her second family.  Last years tragic loss of teammate Jessica Pumphrey in an auto accident weighs heavily on her. When asked who or what inspires her to do her best, she immediately credited Jessica Pumphrey.      

Lauren is a very busy student athlete.  In addition to cross country, track & field and basketball, she maintains an outstanding academic record.  Lauren Heishman is a shining example of what a student-athlete is suppose to be!
