Lakewood Ranch's Olivia Ortiz has been named the 2011 Girls Cross Country Runner of the Year by the Florida Dairy Farmers.
The award is voted on by a panel of cross country coaches around the state.
Ortiz won the Class 3A state championship with a time of 17:39 last month and tallied 80 points in the voting to beat out Class 2A winner Shelby Davidson of Cocoa Beach, who had 50 points.
Ortiz also won county, district and regional championships this fall, and helped the Mustangs to a third-place finish at state.
Ortiz is in San Diego today competing in the Foot Locker Cross Country National Championships.
