Two of Minster's top athletes made their college commitments official on Thursday as runner Claire Bohman and golfer Max Voisard held signing ceremonies in the High School Library.

Bohman will take her running career to the University of Saint Francis in Fort Wayne, joining a program that qualified this year for the NAIA national cross country championship coming up next week.

A distance specialist, Bohman competed in the state cross country meet all four years, helping the Wildcats to two state championships and two runner-up finishes.

After finishing 46th as a freshman, Bohman has earned All-Ohio podium finishes the last three seasons, placing 20th as a sophomore before taking 10th as a junior and this past weekend placing 12th.

On the track, Bohman has seven podium finishes, including all three seasons in the 4x400-meter relay, where the Wildcats have finished sixth, fourth and second during her freshman through junior seasons. Bohman also has been part of the state champion 4x800 relay the previous two state meets, placed sixth in the 1,600 run as a sophomore and third last season as well as running in the 3,200 as a junior and the 400 open as a freshman.

Saint Francis' cross country team recently finished fifth at the Crossroads League meet at Taylor University and will travel to Vancouver, Washington for the national meet on Nov. 20.
