PCA senior Ginny Gunn will continue her track and field career collegiately at Troy University in Troy, Alabama as a preferred walk on this fall. Having been awarded The Scholars Award, the highest academic scholarship given at Troy University, she receives full tuition and housing for the next four years.
As one of the four seniors this season, Gunn will lead PCA’s track and field team as the captain where she’s served since her sophomore year. In addition to many individual meet placements, she qualified for AHSAA’s 3A state meet in 2016, 2018, and 2019 in the 300m hurdles and 4×400 relay. Gunn has set multiple school records in long jump, 60m hurdles, and the 4×400 relay.
“I am so excited about Ginny having the opportunity she has been given at Troy,” said Tara Osborne, PCA’s athletic director. “Ginny is a silent leader who leads by example, and is very coachable. She is one of the hardest working young ladies that I know.”
As one of the top academically-performing students in her senior class, she will also focus on her ability to make her mark on the world by earning a Language Arts Secondary Education or Exercise Science-Nutrition degree.
