Breckenridge’s seven-time state champion senior runner Kirsten Olling will be going pretty far from home starting next fall, but at the same time she’ll be coached by another mid-Michigan native.

Olling, a four-time Division 4 state champion in cross country and three-time state champion in the 3200-meter run in track and field, has signed with the Arizona State University women’s cross country and track and field programs, where her coach will be Meridian graduate Ryan Cole.

"This is really exciting," said Olling, who signed her national letter of intent with the Sun Devils on Feb. 4, the week after making an official visit to the campus in Tempe, Ariz. "I really like the team and the coach. This (right fit) is something I've been looking for for a long time, and I'm glad I found it at Arizona State."
