Cedar Ridge Red Wolf of the Week: Naomi Dyreng
Our first Cedar Ridge Red Wolf of the Week for the 2024-2025 academic year is senior women’s cross country runner Naomi Dyreng. Last week, Dyreng finished fourth in a field of over 300 runners at the Pace Yourself Early Bird Challenge at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary. Dyreng was the 2023 Central Conference Cross Country champion and went on to win a regional championship in the 3,200 meters last spring in outdoor track and field. It was her third regional championship in track & field. Dyreng has also qualified for the 3A State Cross Country championships each of the past two years. Earlier this week, Dyreng finished first at the Eno River Academy Invitational in Hillsborough, leading the Cedar Ridge women’s team to a first place finish. Dyreng has been one of the most accomplished runners in Cedar Ridge history. Dyreng has trained with former Orange High cross country runner Gabriel Schmid, who won back-to-back 3A State Men’s cross country championships. As Dyreng starts her senior year on Monday, she says her goal is to help Cedar Ridge women’s cross country as a team. Last year, the Red Wolves finished second in the Central Conference. After this fall, Dyreng will prepare for outdoor track & field next March.
