  • Hardin named girls’ track and field coach

    Since resigning from LaRue County following the 2006 season, Jamie Hardin has never been far from the sport of track & field.

    She became an official with the KHSAA and U.S. Track & Field and could often be found in the press box as a HY-TEK operator scoring meets.

    Soon, though, Hardin wondered if getting back into coaching could happen.

    An opportunity arose earlier this month at LaRue County. Laura Kudrna stepped down as girls’ track coach in July, and the school needed to find someone before this season begins.
