FORT PIERCE — When Kelly Hensley first started running in middle school, it was like doing a chore that was expected of her.

After all, she is a Hensley — the fifth and final child in her family to go through the Lincoln Park Academy cross country program.

It wasn't until a few years later that the sport actually became enjoyable, and by her senior season this year, she had set herself apart from the rest of the competition on the Treasure Coast.
