“I feel great! I knew I wanted to participate in some kind of sport in college and track is the lucky sport,” said Harley Lubben, a graduate of Johnson County Central Schools who has signed a letter of intent to compete in track at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Missouri. She has also received a scholarship from the university.
“I enjoy everything about track...the atmosphere, the people and that it is an individual sport,” said Lubben. As a member of Northwest Missouri State's track team, Lubben will compete in the shot and discus. “I don't think I want to try anything else, but my mind changes all the time.”
Lubben said she chose Northwest Missouri State University because she felt at home the second she walked on campus. “I didn't feel like I was trapped or had a bunch of classes spread out. It's a small and walkable campus,” she explained.
