On Friday, Coffee County senior Kailee Rossman signed on with Roane State Community College to run cross country for the Raiders.

“I’m going to miss seeing my high school friends everyday,” said Rossman. “But I’m looking forward to being part of a new team and running at college.”

Rossman, who had originally committed to Milligan University, decided to choose Roane State due to them being one of the few colleges that offered the opportunity to study occupational therapy and also have a running program.

“I would have loved to run for Milligan, but I feel like it was a smarter decision for me and for my career to go to Roane.”

Rossman should be a great addition to the Roane State Raiders, having recently made an appearance in the 2023 TSSAA State Cross Country Championships back in November.
