The College Decision Is In For Ortiz



Lakewood Ranch senior Olivia Ortiz has had a great high school career. Ortiz was named Gatorade Cross Country Runner of the Year in Florida in 2011 after finishing first at the 3A Cross Country Finals and was a Foot Locker National Finalist. In 2012, she was a member of the state champion 4x800 meter relay team, and finished runner-up in the 1600 meters before suffering an injury during the 3200 meters that sidelined her for the cross country season. Through it all Ortiz has remained upbeat and strong while staying in the game volunteering for flrunners.com. Recently, she announced where she will spend the next four years of her collegiate running career.
