“Natalie is a special recruit to me in many ways. She has a passion for distance running and when healthy, she is a very good runner,” Clark said. “Natalie is also an excellent student and especially a person of strong character.

“It will be fun to coach Natalie and I am confident she will be a wonderful addition to Jimmie cross country and track and field.”

The daughter of Cory and Sandi Ley, she plans to study elementary education at Jamestown College.
