FARGO, N.D. ? North Dakota State head women's track and field coach Ryun Godfrey has announced the signing of Maddie McClellan to a National Letter of Intent.

An honor roll student, McClellan hails from Perham, Minn. and attends Perham High School.  She won the Minnesota state Class A cross country title in the fall and was the state runner-up in 2008.  She also claimed the 2009 state title in the 3,200 meters.

“We are excited to announce Maddie McClellan as an addition to our 2010 recruiting class,” said Godfrey.  “She will be a difference maker for the Bison.”

McClellan joins six other student-athletes as part of the 2010 class.  Heidi Peterson, Jamie Drevlow, Abby Goraczkowski, Emily Lesser, Kiley Severson and Katie Dockter all signed letters of intent earlier this year.
