Wilson to Run Cross Country/Track at Houghton College

 

(Houghton, N.Y.)—Ashlie Wilson (Mexico, N.Y./Mexico) has signed a letter of intent to run cross country and track for Houghton College. Wilson was the Section III cross country champion last fall, setting the school’s course record and being named team MVP.

 

“Ashlie will be a solid addition to our team,” said Houghton Cross Country Coach Bob Smalley, “we expect her to be in the top five as a freshman.”

 

Wilson was a First Team All League selection this year, and won a scholar-athlete award. She is the daughter of Gary and Brenda Wilson of Mexico, N.Y., and intends to major in physical education at Houghton.

 

 

Houghton College has deep and solid roots in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, where our teams use their commitment to excellence, both on the field-of-play and in the classroom, as a platform for their strong and unique emphasis on Sports Ministry. Their goal is to make a difference for the Kingdom on campus, in Allegany County, in the Northeast and around the world.  Houghton is one of only 13 institutions who have been hand-selected by the NAIA to serve as "Champions of Character" Program Centers, opening the door for Houghton to be a leader, both in the Northeast and nationally, in character education. Through hands-on, innovative community outreach initiatives, Houghton coaches and student-athletes are working together to change the culture of sport and to change our culture through sport.
