Moundridge’s Cammi Unruh – Athlete Spotlight – Presented by Bluestem Pace

By Cooper Chadwick

Junior Cammi Unruh holds the Moundridge school record for long jump and the 200 meter dash; she hopes to hold even more records in her third year with the Wildcats.

Aside from long jump and the 200-meter, Unruh also runs the 100-meter, 4×1, 4×4 and competes in the triple jump.

Unruh has a couple goals for herself and her team this season to make it a memorable one.

“Some goals for this season for myself are to break the triple jump record and get into 11 seconds for the 100. Some goals for the team are to break the 4×4 record and to win the big title at state,” Unruh said.

Unruh hopes that her work in the offseason has prepared her for this season, specifically with her explosiveness out of the blocks and on the long/triple jump runway.

“To prepare I’ve been doing a lot of cross training sessions that have translated into track strength,” Unruh said. I’ve incorporated more explosive movements in my normal gym routine.

Unruh is excited this year especially for state and the chance to run in front of a big crowd as well as meet new people.

As a junior with state experience, Unruh is the backbone for the wildcats this season.

“I am someone who my teammates can rely on and lean on me at times when they need it,” Unruh said.
