Abstract
Bower will always be the first: the first athlete to win four consecutive WPIAL championships in cross country. Though Vincentian’s Marianne Abdalah tied that record in 2016, it can never be eclipsed. Natalie excelled as a runner, adding eight WPIAL track and field gold medals to the four gold she captured in cross country. She also added four varsity letters swimming for Greater Latrobe High School.
