Crosbie signs with HU

Bluffton senior Markis Crosbie signed with Huntington University to compete in cross country and track and field on Thursday morning in the Bluffton High School athletic office. Crosbie has earned ACAC All-Conference first and second team honors and is a two-time individual regional qualifier in cross country. He also helped lead the Tigers to an ACAC championship and semi-state qualification in his final season. In track, Crosbie won the 1,600-meter run and finished second in the 800-meter run while participating in 4×800 meter and 4×400 meter relays that also finished second during last year’s ACAC Championship meet. Crosbie is pictured signing between his parents Veronica Purvis and Justin Crosbie.
