Coach Ed Fye (right).
Wednesday, February 25 was another big day for
Exeter-Milligan athletes.
Maitlyn Thomsen signed a letter of intent to participate in
track at Doane College in Crete.
“I wanted to go to a smaller school and still be able to
compete in track,” explained Thomsen, “I will do long jump and sprints.
Coach Fye has talked to me about heptathlon.”
Thomsen has been a three sport athlete at Exeter-Milligan,
shining on the softball field, the basketball court and especially on the
track. She has gone to the state track meet every year so far and brought
home a medal every year.
“The Exeter-Milligan community has given me so much support
along with my coaches to be able to get me a long way.”
Her track coach at Exeter-Milligan, Jackson Krejci has great
hopes for Thomsen at Doane, “I think she will fit in really well at Doane.
Throughout her career she has had the ability to fit in slot wherever she was
needed and she is an all-around athlete. She has had a great career at
Exeter-Milligan.”
Coach Fye sees that as well, “Maitlyn is a great
athlete. I really hope to see her complete as a heptathlete. She is
a great leader and comes from a great program. We hope to give her the
same kind of success she had in high school.”
Right now Thomsen says her major is undecided but “it may be
something in the health field.”
