Cedarcrest runner Olivia Waterman last month signed a letter of intent to attend and compete for Everett Community College next fall.

Waterman, who is planning to study nutrition sciences, will run cross country and track and field for the Trojans.

Over the past couple years, Everett has become one of the top distance programs in the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges.  The women’s program has been the Northern Region champions in cross country for the past seven years and the NWAACC champs for three of the past five years.

As a member of the Cedarcrest track and field squad, Waterman is on all three of the team’s top-10 lists.  In 2013, she ran 11:33 for the two-mile race, which was the 10th fastest time in the state for 2A. Her time was the number-five time in school history, behind four girls who were all state qualifiers.

During her four years, Waterman has progressed from the number-seven runner on the Cedarcrest cross country squad to one of the top in the state.
