Humble, spunky with long, purple hair are just a few things that make senior women's cross country runner Martina Tresch stick out from the others. A native of Rueti, Switzerland, Tresch's passion in high school was running. She finished third in the 1,500 meters, and she was runner-up in the 5,000 meters at the 2009 Swiss National Championship. High school was not going to be enough though. She wanted to continue her running career, and Kansas State was calling her name.
