River Hill’s All-Metro distance runner Katie Harman made an oral commitment Monday to run next year for James Madison.

Harman, who said she will to sign a letter of intent when the signing period opens on Feb. 4, plans to run cross country, indoor track and track and field for the Dukes, in Harrisonburg, Va.

Harman also considered Loyola and UMBC before making her final decision.

“It was an all-around good package,” Harman said. “I liked the school on my visit. I liked the team and I like the coach. The coach seemed like a really good coach, and they have a good program already.”

This week’s Baltimore Sun girl athlete of the week, Harman is a two-time state champion in cross country and won titles during last year’s indoor season at 1,600 and 3,200 meters. She has a 3.67 grade-point average.
