MPCHS senior Nate Smith has signed his letter of intent to compete in track and field at Clarke University in Dubuque.

“When I went there, the professors introduced themselves by the first names, and it seemed like a great environment,” Smith said. “I look forward to being part of a team and really dropping my (race) times.”
