BLAIR, NE – Elizabeth Jackson, a senior from Tivoli, Texas, has signed a national letter of intent to run track at Dana College.  Jackson is expected to run in both the 200 meter and 400 meter events for the Vikings. 

Jackson is the daughter of Fred Jackson and Christine Wente.  She plans on majoring in Elementary Education and coaching during her career at Dana College.

 “I chose Dana because of its academic prestige and the small town atmosphere,” commented Jackson on her choice of Dana College.

She has been the 200 meter district champion from 2004 through 2007.  She has also qualified for the AAU Junior Olympic Games.

“Elizabeth will make a definite impact on our team next year,” commented Head Track Coach Allen Friesen.  “I am so very excited that she has chosen Dana College.”
