Alivia Bacon ran for South Sumner in the regular season and South Haven in the postseason.
By Tracy McCue, Sumner Newscow — This week’s Big Cheese Athlete of the Week is Alivia Bacon, a senior for the South Haven girls cross country team.
Bacon has been a four-time state qualifier in cross country. During her freshman year, she finished 12th at the Class 1A state cross-country meet at the Sand Plumb Nature Trail in Victoria. In 2021, as a sophomore, she finished seventh in 1A at the state meet at Sand Plumb. In her junior year, she ran at the Wamego Country Club and placed 40th with a 23:16 time. Then, on Saturday, as a senior, Bacon placed 28th with a time of 21:54.40, helping lift her South Haven team to a fourth-place finish in Wamego.
It’s been a fun-filled four years Alivia. For her effort, she is a recipient of a large delicious Big Cheese Pizza at 324 N. Washington.
