Sullivan South's Wooden signs to run at Milligan
MILLIGAN COLLEGE, TN (March 2, 2007) --- Milligan College head track and field and cross country coach Chris Layne announced Sullivan South senior Nathan Wooden will run for the Buffaloes next Fall.
Wooden was a member of Sullivan South's 2006 state qualifying 4 x 400 meter relay team and also earned All-Conference honors in both cross country and track and field. He holds a 5,000 meter personal best of 17:36 in cross country.
"We're very excited about Nathan coming to Milligan because our staff believes he has tremendous potential to develop as a distance runner," said Layne. "He's a student of the sport who also takes his academics seriously."
Wooden helped lead South to a sixth place finish at the 2006 Region 1-AAA Cross Country Championships with his 28th place finish. Earlier in the season he finished tenth overall at the University School Cross Country Invitational.
The AIM scholar is the son of Marc and Kim Wooden of Kingsport, Tenn.
