LANCE QUECK SIGNS WITH IOWA LAKES

Iowa Lakes Community College Head Cross Country Coach Mike Nichols has announced the signing of Lance Queck of Fontanelle to a National Junior College Letter of Intent.

Lance competed in cross country while attending Nodaway Valley High School.  He was a member of both the state championship team in 2002 and the state runner-up team in 2003.  Queck ran a career best time of 17:07 at the 5K distance. 

"Lance is a very good fit for out team," said Nichols.  "His experience running on such successful teams will be of great benefit for him as he moves up to the college level."

Lance is the son of Roger and Cris Queck of  Fontanelle and is enrolled in the Environmental Studies program at Iowa Lakes Community College.

Iowa Lakes began recruiting students for cross country early last year.  Three students advanced to the national competition in Lawrence, Kan., in October of last year. 

In addition to cross county, students may participate in intercollegiate sports of baseball, softball, volleyball, golf and basketball at Iowa Lakes.
