Cross Country runner Sadie Lane officially committed to run and cheer at a four-year institution on Tuesday, signing with Missouri Valley College to run cross country and track as well as cheer competitively.

Lane will be one of ten athletes on campus to compete in multiple sports for the Vikings. She also will be receiving academic aid because of her strong GPA.

Lane ran Women's Cross Country for Cleveland State two seasons in 2018 and 2019 and is currently closing out her cheerleading career for the Lady Cougars in 2020. In this timespan, Lane was the top runner for the Lady Cougars in two meets and also set strong personal bests. She was also named Cheerleading captain for the 2019-2020 season. Academically, she was named to the NJCAA All-Academic American First Team for 2018-2019 and also earned a spot on the TCCAA All-Academic Achievement team for the 2018-2019 season.

"I am beyond proud of Sadie," said last season's interim Cross Country Head Coach Lindsey Beck. "She works incredibly hard in all she does and is an amazing teammate and leader.  I have no doubt she will find success at Missouri Valley. The Vikings are receiving not only a great athlete, but an amazing person! She will be missed on campus and on her sports teams." 

"Sadie is an integral part of our team as she is exuberant and encouraging to her teammates," said Head Cheerleading Coach Haley Hendrix. "We are very excited for her opportunity and are confident she will take her talents, work ethic, and outstanding character to her new school." 

Missouri Valley, located in Marshall, Mo., competes in the NAIA's Division I Heart of America conference.

Cleveland State Athletics wishes Sadie well at Missouri Valley and is proud of her accomplishments!
