HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Northern Kentucky University cross country head coach
Steve Kruse has added Erin Pierce to his roster for the upcoming season.
Pierce, a 2010 graduate of Fairfield High School, competed in both cross country and track as a prep athlete. She set a personal record in the five-kilometer run in 2007 with a time of 20:40 at the Elder Invitational.
“Erin is spending the summer ramping up her mileage to prepare for the transition from high school to college,” Kruse said. “She is the daughter of former NKU standout Dave Pierce, who was Northern's first All-Great Lakes Valley Conference cross country runner in 1985.”
Pierce joins an NKU women's cross country program that finished third at the GLVC Championships last fall. NKU runners
Jenna Siemer and
Jerrica Maddox both placed in the top 15 to earn All-GLVC honors in that meet.
NKU begins its season Sept. 11 at the Queen City Invitational.
