Cross Country’s Sixth off-season Recruit

3-16-06

Since the 2005 fall season, Lewis-Clark State College’s Cross Country program and Head Coach Mike Collins have recruited five runners. With the recent addition of a Nampa, Idaho standout the grand total is now at six.
Phil Vincent, a senior at Nampa High School, has signed a letter of intent to run for the Warriors next season. Vincent joins Ben Behrends and Brett Fowler as the newest members of the nationally ranked men’s program. He has been very successful in high school and could possibly be just as successful in college. Last fall, while finishing 4^th in the 4A cross country state championships, the Nampa High School senior put up the 12^th best time of any senior in the state. Furthermore, during last year’s track season he qualified for state in the 3200 and finished 10^th, and this year is considered a favorite to win it.

Coach Collins had this to say about his newest runner, “We are excited about adding Phil to an already deep roster for next year. Not only will he help next year’s team, but will be a part of a crop of young runners that will help carry the Warriors into the future… he is still developing as a runner, but already has a running resume that looks good.”
