JORDAN GRUENES (M) posed with his parents, Joe and Stephanie, before signing his letter of intent to participate in Track& Field at the University of Minnesota in Duluth. Gruenes — a star athlete in soccer and cross country as well — chose UMD over St. Thomas and NDSU because of the campus and the program. Jordan plans to study chemical engineering with the goal of someday working in environmental health and safety industries. (Submitted Photo).
