She’s gutsy, extremely coachable, modest, and a reason I am so proud to be one of the Hurricane High School track coaches,” said Coach Sargent. When Abby is not running track, she is a member of the Hurricane soccer team, the National Honor Society, and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Abby will be attending West Virginia Wesleyan in the fall to play soccer. She will be studying Elementary Education with a minor in Special Education.
