APTOS -- Nikki Hiltz, the reigning Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League and Central Coast Section Division III cross country champion, will miss the entire 2012 season.

Hiltz, an Aptos High senior, has a stress fracture in her right foot and was advised by doctors on Aug. 24 to stay off it for three months.

"I was really shocked because I ran that day and I felt fine," Hiltz said. "I felt like I was in someone else's body and really sad."
