Concordia University track and field coach Dr. Kregg Einspahr announced that Alden Wignall of Glenwood High School in Glenwood, Iowa, has signed with the Bulldogs for next year. "We are excited to have an athlete like Alden choose Concordia," Einspahr said.
Wignall was one of the top high school runners in the state of Iowa this past year. He finished fifth in the Iowa class 3A 1600-meter run as well as adding a fifth place finish in the 3200-meter run. In both races he had personal best times of 4:29.82 (1600) and 9:41.94 (3200).
Wignall will not be far from family during his time at Concordia. Steve Wignall, an uncle, is a science teacher at Seward High School, and his grandparents George and Bonnie Wignall also reside in Seward.
