Senior Lindsey Graver announced her decision to continue her track & field career next year at Division III Misericordia University while pursuing their Doctorate of Physical Therapy program on Thursday, April 14.
"Lindsey is definitely a team leader and this year she has dedicated herself to our team," said Wellsboro head coach Elizabeth Hoover. "Even though we haven’t had a lot of time on the track this year, but Lindsey is doing the best she can and has already qualified for Districts."
Graver currently has a 3rd place finish in the 100m (13.9), a 1st place in the 200m (29.8), and a 2nd place finish in the triple jump (29-ft, 7.5 in) in her only meet this year against Canton and Northern Tioga, but was part of last year’s 4x100m relay team that set a new school record (49.3) and qualified for the PIAA State Track & Field Championships.
"Last summer I attended a track camp at met a coach who is now at Misericordia and I really liked her," Graver said. "So her moving to Misericordia gave me interest. It wasn't hard to decide where to go because the first time I visited I really liked the campus."
WellsboroAthletics.com would like to congratulate Lindsey on her announcement, and thank her for all her hard work and dedication to the track team the last four years.
