Morgan Nelson signs letter of intent

Record setter Morgan Nelson signed a letter of intent to run track at the University of Missouri in Columbia yesterday. Morgan has proven to be quite fast on foot- last year, she placed 2nd at State while setting a new school record of 5:15 in the mile. Just last Monday, she set a new record in the 800 meter run with an official time of 2:21 at the conference at Barstow. Morgan will be the first Butler student to go on to be an athlete for a Division 1 school since 1984.


Morgan, a Senior at Butler High School is the daughter of Mark and Tracy Nelson of Amoret.
