Brandywine High senior Jenn Kutney has ended her high school cross country career as a four-time All-State selection, becoming just the third runner to do so.

The boys and girls All-State teams are selected by the coaches' organization based on performance at the state meet.

The only others to be honored four times, boys or girls, are Archmere's Katy Himelreich (1983 to '86) and Ursuline's Colleen Taylor (1997 to 2000).

Kutney never finished lower than third in the Division I state meet. She won in 1998 and 2000 and placed second this year.
