For the past four years, Hudson's Kayleigh Wagnon has been collecting medals and making milestones as a distance runner for the Hornets.  Today, gathered by a multitude of family, friends, teammates and coaches in the foyer of the Hudson Gym, Wagnon officially signed the dotted line to became the newest member of the University of Tulsa Cross Country team.

The Hornet senior had numerous college offers but had pared the choices down to Portland State, Texas Tech, Ouachita Baptist, UNC-Asheville, and Central Arkansas among others.  In the end Wagnon decided to become a Golden Hurricane.

The achievements through her high school career are numerous.  She has several district, area and regional championships to her credit in both cross country and track. She has quite the trove of gold medals from numerous cross country meets, and most recently she finished in the top five at the state cross country meet in Round Rock while running an 11:31 in the two-mile race.

The nickname for the University of Tulsa used to be the yellow jackets until they decided to change it in 1922.  The change to Golden Hurricanes occurred just before they played a football game with Texas A&M.
