RELATED: State title dream a reality for Horter
A two-time runner of the year in the Greater Miami Conference, Horter is a three-time All-Ohio honoree.
“Dustin was by far the most dominant runner in the state all year,” said Middletown High School coach David Fultz. “He attacks every race and runs hard no matter if it’s a small meet or the national meet.”
The award recognizes athletic excellence, but also academic achievement and exemplary character on and off the course.
Horter is a member of the Student Athletic Leadership team at Lakota east and has volunteered locally for several community service initiatives through his church youth group. In the classroom, Horter maintains a 4.15 GPA.
The state honor makes Horter a finalist for Gatorade’s national award to be announced next January.
