Christians announces first signee for 2021 class

Bellevue University head men's and women's cross country coach Craig Christians announced his first signee in the 2021 recruiting class today with the addition of Sam McIntyre (Glenwood, Iowa/Glenwood HS). McIntyre will continue his academic and athletic careers at BU beginning in the fall of 2021. 

McIntyre was a two-time qualifier for the Iowa State High School Cross Country Championships. He ran a personal best time of 17:20 in the 5K at the 2019 Iowa State Meet where he placed 65th overall. 

His personal best time on the track in the 1,600 meters is 4:46.8.  

Coach Craig Christians: "Sam can come in and make an immediate impact for us. He's going to add depth and be a great fit with a solid group of returning men we'll have next fall."
