Chloe Adams is first recipient of Georgetown College Undergraduate Assistant Coaching scholarship

Injuries kept Chloe Adams from competing in track and cross country for most of her high school career. So she helped coach Mason County's young cross country athletes and was a support staff person for the track and cross country teams.

Today, the Mason County senior signed an Undergraduate Assistant Coaching scholarship to Georgetown College.

Adams is the first recipient of the scholarship. She will assist Georgetown track and field and cross country coach Luke Garnett.

"I guess I'm just really happy to still be a part of a team," Adams said. "I didn't think I would get that opportunity with everything that's been going on."

She told the Mason County cross country athletes "I'm more proud of all of you guys than I am of like, anything else."

Garnett said he couldn't be more excited about the scholarship program. 

"You're a guinea pig," Garnett told Adams. "We're going to figure it out, we're going to make this work and you're going to get some experience and maybe, eventually, be a coach yourself in high school or college in the future, and I can't wait."

Mason County coach Mark Kachler said it couldn't happen to a better person.

"We think she is going to be a great asset to the Georgetown track and field and cross country programs," Kachler said. "Coach Garnett mentioned the program to me and it seemed to be a perfect fit for her. And we wish her nothing but the best."

Adams is undecided on a major, but said she is leaning toward engineering arts.
