For 14 athletes, their goals were made official on Wednesday, Nov. 14 for College Athlete Signing Day.
Colleges gained new athletes for next year’s fall semester and pictures were taken with families. Athletic director Mr. Eldredge encouraged everyone to come out and support the athletes in their signing.
For the athletes who signed, it was a huge relief mixed with excitement as they get ready for their next chapter. Senior Caitlin Rodriguez is happy that she finally has found a good college in Maryville to be going to for softball.
“It’s nice that I don’t have to worry about having any stress about needing to find a college anymore,” Rodriguez said.
For senior Chase Krogman, he finally made it official that he is committed to the university that he has been verbally committed to since his sophomore year. He will be attending Missouri State for baseball and hopes to be drafted out of the school.
“It feels like forever ago since I first committed so it’s great that I’m finally making it official,” Krogman said.
As athletes head off to college, new goals are set for their time playing sports wherever they commit to. Senior Zoee Harrington hopes both athletically and academically that she goes far for her years at Quincy University.
“I plan to go to college to study special education and try to make it professionally in golf,” Harrington said.
