Hollander (Marina HS/Huntington Beach, Calif.) was named an All-American after finishing ninth at the national championship meet in November, completing the 6K course in Louisville, Ky. in 19 minutes, 45 seconds. The Big West Conference Women's Athlete of the Year, Hollander paced the Mustangs at every meet she competed in this past season and set three course records.
