}}{{Use mdy dates|date=July 2014}} Kayla Montgomery, a resident of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is an award-winning long distance runner. Since her diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) when she was 14, she has devoted herself to running, competing and setting new records. Early life and diagnosisFrom a young age, Kayla Montgomery has been involved in sports. In 2009, she fell while playing soccer, and shortly thereafter experienced a loss of feeling in both of her feet which appeared to be MS.[1] Long distance runningIn April 2010, when the feeling returned to her legs, she left soccer and took up running. With great motivation and determination, she began to train six days a week and run distances of 45 miles each week. Not wanting to use her diagnosis of MS as an excuse to hold herself back, she told her running coach, Patrick Cromwell, "I want to run fast."[2] She has been running on indoor track, outdoor track and cross-country teams since that time. As she began competing in races, she realized that about one mile into the race her legs began to go numb.[3] Montgomery now runs for Lipscomb University track & field team.[4] AwardsMontgomery has continually improved her speeds and broken her own records. As a 12th grader at Mt Tabor High School, Montgomery won the North Carolina class 4A NCHSAA girls individual state cross country championships in 2013.[5][6] She broke the Mt Tabor High School record of 17:36 for a 5k run.[7] She accomplished her personal best of 17:42 during the Wendy's Invitational. Her time was the 12th fastest that had been recorded on the track for females from North Carolina. In 2013, she recorded North Carolina's top 5K performance of the season with a time of 17:22 at November's Foot Locker South Regional championships—the fastest time in the history of the event by a non-qualifying female athlete.[8] She is ranked 21st in the country following her North Carolina State titles where she won the 3,200-meter race in 10:43 minutes.[9][10] In May 2014, she competed in the 5,000-meter national indoor track competitions in New York where she finished with a time of 17:15.
