EIGHT-TIME ALL-AMERICAN HEATHER DORNIDEN TACKS ON AWARDS FOR LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE

By Rick Moore, Minnesota University Relations

It's a good thing for fans of Gopher track and field that Heather Dorniden is as fondof running as she is of playing the flute. (For that matter, the Big Ten Network
should be grateful, too. More on that later.)

Dorniden was on track for a potential music scholarship when she discovered that she could parlay her running talentinto a scholarship at the University of Minnesota. At Rosemount High School,she was a five-time all-state performer, and she won Class AA state titles in the 400 meters as a junior and 800 meters
as a senior.
