Sylvan-Lucan’s Codie Huehl – Presented by Advanced Physical Therapy

Sylvan-Lucas sophomore cross country runner Codie Huehl is looking to come back better than ever.

The sophomore excelled in 2023 right out of the gates, taking her success in league and then finishing fourth regionals in Sabetha and 16th at state in Wamego.

Because her goal is to improve on 2023, Huehl trained hard this offseason.

“I followed our summer running schedule. I played summer league basketball and participated in summer weightlifting,” Huehl said.

Time is the name of the game when it comes to cross country, so that is a huge focus for Huehl.

“I am so excited to see how much I can improve throughout the season. It is so fun to watch your times go down as the season progresses,” Huehl said.

The Mustangs don’t have enough members to make a full girls team, but the hope is they can recruit some other runners to join so they can place higher at state. Huel especially emphasized wanting to improve on her individual finish from 2023.

“My team does not have a full girls team, but hopefully we can gain a member to make four of us,” she said. “Everyone on our team has lots of potential to do well. I would just really like to place higher at state.”
