The good news just keeps coming for former Bozeman Hawk distance runner Camila Noe who was recently named to the 2017-18 American Family Insurance all-USA Girls Track and Field team.
Noe, who was named the Montana Gatorade Cross Country Runner of the Year and Montana Gatorade Track and Field Athlete of the Year will continue her running career next season for the University of Portland, but not before she put her stamp on the national running scene for the Bozeman Hawks.
During her senior campaign, Noe ran the second-fastest time for the two-mile in the nation for high school athletes, and her time of 9 minutes, 54.95 seconds at the Brooks PR Invitational in June is also No. 4 on the all-time high school two-mile list.Noe was also the Montana Class AA 3,200 meter champion, helping Bozeman to a runner-up finish at the Class AA State meet in Great Falls in May, and on May 5th, Noe ran the fastest 3,200 in Montana history. Her time of 10:21.76, bested current Stanford all-American and former Billings Senior star Christina Aragon’s time of 10:22.10.
Additionally, Noe was part of four state championship cross country teams during her time in the Red and Black, helping the Lady Hawks continue their streak of dominance that has now reached 11 consecutive state titles.
Noe was joined on the 2017-18 American Family Insurance all-USA Girls Track and Field team by Caitlin Collier from Florida, Katelynne Hart from Illinois, Jacqueline Gaughan from New Hampshire, and Katelyn Tuohy of New York.
Noe was selected to the 2017-18 American Family Insurance all-USA Girls Track and Field team by Mike Kennedy, the high school editor of Track and Field News. The criteria for selection included being ranked on the USA TODAY Sports and Track and Field News national list, as well as top performances during season meets and national meets.
