In case you missed it—last Friday our NCHS senior state champion runner Asher Ingram signed his National Letter of Intent to run Cross Country and Track for Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa, ID.
His signing was witnessed by his family, coaches, teammates and close friends, along with some teachers and friends of Northwest Christian Schools that are also alumni or Trustees of NNU (NCHS Teacher Sonya Trosper NNU Class of 2001, NCA Athletic Director Trisha Lanham NNU Class of 2000, Joseph Lanham NNU class of 2000 and NNU Trustee, Jenna Kearns NNU Trustee).
When asked why Asher chose NNU he said, “I think that NNU has a really good set of academics and athletics. I think NNU will really help me continue to grow in my spiritual walk once I leave NCHS.”
Asher has worked really hard for all his amazing accomplishments during his time at NCHS and we couldn’t be more proud of him for being able to continue his running career at NNU.
