IOWA LAKES CROSS COUNTRY SIGNS DAMIAN VACIN

Iowa Lakes Community College head cross country coach Molly Struve recently signed Damian Vacin for the fall 2010 season.  Vacin, who is a 2009 graduate of Sergeant Bluff High School, will add experience and talent to the young team. 

“Damian was a member of the Mount Marty cross country team this fall.  He was very successful there, but decided to transfer to Iowa Lakes for this semester and next year.  Since he has already participated in one season, he will only be able to use one year of eligibility with us,” stated Laker Head Cross Country Coach Molly Struve.  “He is a dedicated runner and truly enjoys the sport.  All of our men from last year are graduating, so I am looking to him to serve as a leader.  He has experience running at the college level and participated in many of the same meets as us last year.”

Vacin was a member of the Sergeant Bluff-Luton cross country team while in high school.  He earned and individual trip the state cross country meet in 2008, where he finished 78th in class 3A. 

The Iowa Lakes Community College Men’s and Women’s Cross Country teams begin their fall 2010 season in early August.  For more information about Iowa Lakes or the cross country program, contact Molly Struve at 712-362-7919 or visit www.iowlakes.edu.
