DECORAH ? Melissa Erickson, a 2008 graduate of Mt. Pleasant Community High School, was presented a varsity letter at the annual Luther College cross-country banquet on Dec. 9.
It is the tradition of the Luther cross-country teams that only seniors are presented letter awards.
Erickson completed her cross-country career as a three-time all-Iowa Conference honoree and is one of seven runners in Luther history to accomplish this feat. She also earned all-Central Region honors twice.
During the 2011 campaign, Luther finished second at the Iowa Conference championships and went on to finish fifth at the NCAA III Central Regional.
The Norse also received an at-large bid to the National Championships where they finished 23rd. Luther?s appearance at the national championships was its 12th in school history and sixth time in the past eight years.
