IOWA LAKES CROSS COUNTRY SIGNS ELC-AR RUNNER

The Iowa Lakes Community College cross country team recently signed Jaimie Furnish for the fall 2008 season.

Furnish, who is senior at Estherville Lincoln Central High School, has been a member of the ELC-AR cross country team for the last two years. She was part of the district champion team and ran at the state cross country meet this past season. Coach Molly Struve is looking forward to having a local athlete join the team.

“I had the opportunity to watch Jaimie run a number of times this fall during her cross country season. She is a talented athlete and has the ability to run at the college level. Jaimie recently had surgery on her foot, which will improve the quality of her running and help eliminate some pain she was experiencing. She is healing well from it and should be ready to start training this spring. I am confident she will make a great addition to our team,” said Struve.

The Iowa Lakes cross country team will be starting their 6th season this fall at the NJCAA Division I level. To learn more about Iowa Lakes Community College cross country log on to www.iowalakes.edu.
