Colorado's Signing Class of 2013</h3>
Just a short little drive (relatively speaking) will take Paonia's Lindsay Russell to Gunnison for college this fall. Contributed Photo.
Name: Lindsay Russell
High School: Homeschool, runs for Paonia High School
Signing With: Western State Colorado University
What clinched the decision for the school you signed with: I was very impressed with the coaches, the team, the training facilities, and the new field house that will be completed next year. I am also excited to practice on a real track at a higher elevation, too. It just felt like the perfect place for me, and they are allowing me to bring my beloved dog and running partner, Loki, with me. That just makes it that much better!
Your favorite high school track event: I absolutely love being part of the 4x400 relay team.
Your favorite high school athletic memory: At the 2012 State Championships, while everyone else was taking shelter from the storm, my teammates and I were running around in our red ponchos singing and dancing and getting ourselves pumped up for our 4x400 relay race. It was fun, and we took home a second place medal.
