Wolf coaches and athletes came out in support of their college-bound teammate.
Mitchell Hall will be a Fightin’ Engineer.
The Coupeville High School senior signed a letter of intent Thursday to run cross country next fall for the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.
The NCAA D-III school, located in Terra Haute, Indiana, is a member of the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference.
Rose-Hulman kicks off a new cross country season with a home meet Sept. 1 on the LaVern Gibson Championship Course.
Hall signed his letter of intent a day after he and his CHS track and field teammates celebrated Senior Night.
He entered the week ranked in the Top 10 in two events among all 2B athletes.
Hall is currently the 5th fastest male runner in the 1600 and is part of a 4 x 400 Wolf relay squad ranked #9 in its classification.
A four-year cross country runner for CHS, he advanced to the state championships as both a junior and senior.
In addition, Hall won the boys individual title at the Northwest 2B/1B League meet in his final go-round.
At Rose-Hulman, the speedy Wolf will join a program which claimed the league title in 2022 and boasted 32 runners on its roster last fall.
The Fightin’ Engineers rep rose and white colors, with Rosie the Elephant holding the spotlight as school mascot.
RHIT was started in 1874 and boasts a curriculum focusing “on both career preparation and undergraduate-driven research in STEM-fields.”
Founder Chauncey Rose launched the school “to provide technical training after encountering difficulties in local engineer availability during construction of his railroads.”
Noted alumni include Barzilla W. Clark, the former Governor of Idaho, Art Nehf, who pitched 15 seasons in Major League Baseball, and Abe Silverstein, who was “responsible for the conception, design, and construction of America’s first supersonic propulsion wind tunnels.”
