PCHS Senior Dakota Krone, who earned All-State honors by finishing in 2nd place in both the Long Jump and Triple Jump at last year’s Illinois State Track Meet, has signed a National Letter of Intent to continue her track career at Division I SIU-E in the Fall of 2020. Dakota will continue to compete in the two jumping events for the Cougars and plans to study Nursing.
In addition to her two second place State medals as a junior, Dakota was 9th in the triple jump as a sophomore.
