LEWISTON, Idaho – Lewis-Clark State College cross country coach Mike Collins has signed his first recruit for the 2008 fall season in Grant Eldridge, a senior at Clackamas High School in Clackamas, Ore., a suburb of Portland. 

“We are excited about adding Grant to our team,” Collins says.  “He is a very talented runner earning second team all-state in cross country the past two seasons in Oregon’s largest school classification, and he has a 5K personal best of 16:13.” 

During last spring, Eldridge ran a personal best of 9:05 for 3,000 meters.  Eldridge also carries a GPA of better than 3.70. 

“Grant will undoubtedly help our team this next year as we intend on continuing the success we had this past season of being a Top 10 nationally-ranked team and will help to put us in a position of winning our second straight Frontier Conference Championship,” Collins says.
