Jamestown College head men's track and field and cross country coach Ed Crawford announced that Colton Harkins, Kalispell, Montana, and Kyle Nielsen, Culbertson, Montana, have signed Letters of Intent to enroll at Jamestown College and participate in track and field. Nielsen will also participate in cross country.
"We are very excited to have both Colton and Kyle choose Jamestown College to further their education and to compete for us," Crawford said. "Both are outstanding young men in the classroom and in their events. Colton is a great javelin thrower who should be a national qualifier real soon. He will also explore another throwing event in college as he had unlimited potential as a thrower. Kyle will give us a lot of depth in our middle distance group in track and field and be a great addition to our cross country program. He has been All-State the last four years in cross country."
Harkins is the son of Mark Harkins and Christy Harkins. He plans to major in History education at Jamestown College. At Glacier High School, he has also been active in basketball.
Nielsen is the son of Jens Nielsen and Laura Christoffersen. He has also been active in FFA and basketball at Culbertson High School and plans to major in Biology/Chemistry at Jamestown College.
