FZN Senior Belle Hill recently committed to run track and cross country at Drury University located in Springfield, Missouri. Hill has been a stand-out runner at FZN since arriving as a transfer her sophomore year. A two-time “All-Conference” performer in cross country, Hill qualified for the state championships this past fall. She was a sectional qualifier her junior year. During her freshmen year, a year spent at Martin County High School in Florida, she earned "All-District" honors. An excellent student with a full course load of AP classes, Hill carries an impressive 4.558 GPA. She plans on majoring in pre-med at Drury with hopes of becoming a medical doctor.

Drury University, whose moniker is the Panthers, is a NCAA Division 2-member school that competes in the Great Lakes Valley athletic conference. Hill will be the fourth FZN graduate in recent years to compete in athletics at Drury. She joins Teddy Hickey (2109 – Wrestling), Cole Sutton (2019 – Soccer) and Sydney Sontheimer (2020 – Softball) who all currently compete on Drury athletic teams.
