Lincoln Community High School Activities Director Neil Alexander invited
the public to attend a College Sports Signing Day, which took place on
Friday, May 7, 2021 at 3 p.m. in the LCHS Auditorium.
Nine Lincoln Community High School students gathered with applause from
family, friends, teachers, and coaches as the athletes celebrated the
signing of intent to play sports for their respective colleges.
Students participating in the ceremony, under the direction of Emcee
Cameron Kurtz, were Karissa Bowman - Lincoln Christian University for
Volleyball, Elise Dawson - Lakeland College in Wisconsin for Volleyball,
Jalen Franz - Lincoln College for Track & Cross Country, Landon
