LCSC signs third women’s cross country recruit in a week

2-4-08

Lewis-Clark State College cross country coach Mike Collins has signed his third recruit in a week for the 2008 women’s season with Sheree Barbour of Highline Community College agreeing to run for the Warriors. 

Barbour earned All-American status twice in cross country and once in track at Highline CC, which is located in Des Moines, Wash. She still has the outdoor season left this spring. 

“Sheree will come into the program with some great experience in running and I think she has some great room for improvement, especially in cross country once you consider her track times,” Collins said. “Her current personal bests are 19:36 for 5k cross country, 2:19 for 800 meters and 4:54 for 1,500 meters.  Both of her track times would break our current school records at those distances.” 

Barbour earned All-America honors in the 800 and 1,500 in track as a freshman.  

Collins says Barbour is a good student and will earn her associates degree this spring at Highline. She intends on studying pre-pharmacy or biology at Lewis-Clark State. 

The Warriors placed 19th at the NAIA national meet last fall.
