Atlantic senior Ava Rush had a dream fulfilled this past weekend when she committed to continue her track career at the University of Iowa. Rush told KJAN sports that she knew she loved running from a young age and once she entered high school she knew continuing to run track in college was a dream she wanted to fulfill.

Rush has had success on the track and on the cross country course. She placed 9th in the Class 3A girls cross country meet last month and she has participated in multiple events at the state track meet the past two seasons. She said she likes both sports but track has always been her true love. She talked about the events that the staff wants her to run in at the next level.
