“Rachel is one of those athletes that only comes around once every so often,” said Greg Mueller, CJ’s girls coach.

“She’s talented athletically, she’s talented academically, but she’s just such a positive person. We wish her the best of luck.”

In her senior season as captain of the Eagles cross country team, Collins qualified for the D-II regional and has twice been named to the GGCL Grey North Second Team All-Conference. In addition, she is a member of the track team, National Honor Society and was named the 2011 recipient of the school’s Sister Damienne Scholarship, which awards one senior a $10,000 college grant, renewed annually for four years.

• Katie Landwehr of Tippecanoe will sign on Wednesday, April 20, to run cross country and track (indoor and outdoor) at Michigan State University.

She won the D-II state title last fall (18:05), was third as a junior and sixth as a sophomore.

• Sarah Botts of Valley View has signed to play volleyball at Heidelberg. She was first team All-SWBL in 2008-10 and was first team All-District 15 in 2009-10.
