Atlantic senior track and field member Alexis Brockman announced her decision to continue her career at Missouri Western State University on Wednesday. Alexis signed her letter of intent with family present at the Atlantic High School on Wednesday morning.

Brockman competes in the high jump for the Trojans and will compete for the Griffons in the same event next year.  Alexis will be part of the first ever track and field team at Missouri Western State as Coach Marc Bierbaum is just starting the program this upcoming year.  The Griffons compete in NCAA Division II and are members of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA).

Brockman said she has family connections to Griffons Coach Marc Bierbaum and that helped make her feel comfortable with the decision.

Brockman has a personal best jump of 4’10” so far in her career. She hopes to clear 5′ this season and qualify for state. She said she has gained a lot of great experience in high school but is excited to work with a jump coach at the next level.
