Pima College's Katherine Bruno (Canyon del Oro HS) was ACCAC Conference Champion a season ago.
Canyon del Oro grad Katherine Bruno, a sophomore at Pima College, won the ACCAC cross country championship last week in Glendale. Just as impressive, Bruno’s time of 18 minutes 12.8 seconds is believed to be the all-time ACCAC record. Aztecs coach Greg Wenneborg did the requisite research and discovered that the previous low time in the conference championships was 18:19.9 run by Central Arizona’s Kizilarslan Aybuke 11 years ago. This isn’t Bruno’s breakthrough; that happened last spring, when she won the ACCAC’s 1,500 and 3,000 meters championships and finished No. 9 nationally. She has drawn recruiting interest from Arizona, among others. Said Wenneborg: “I think she can be a contender for the NJCAA cross country national championship.”
