Mountain View High’s Pogue signs with LCSC cross country team

3-1-07 

Alex Pogue, a senior at Mountain View High School in Meridian, has signed a national letter of intent to run for the Lewis-Clark State College men’s cross country team in the fall, Warrior coach Mike Collins has announced. 

Pogue comes off of a successful senior campaign in cross country where he earned his second consecutive All-State honor in 2006.  In addition, his high school team won the state title in the Class 5A division in Lewiston last fall.  He was also on the All-State track team as a junior, was his high school team's most improved runner in 2005, and its most inspirational in 2006.   

He has also excelled in the classroom where he maintains a GPA of over 3.25. 

“We are excited about the addition of Alex to the team,” Collins says.  “He is a former soccer player that is still relatively new to the running world.  As he gains more experience and more miles under his belt, he will undoubtedly get better.  In addition, being a part of a championship team and understanding and implementing the key concepts of how to win as a team are lessons that he has already learned, which will be additional assets he will bring to our team in the fall.”
