Signing day at Bellarmine | Schools

Tacoma KOMO has a new cast of youth correspondents - the enterprising staff of Bellarmine Preparatory School's newspaper, The Lion. These 15 high school students and their advisor, teacher Jeanne Hanigan, will be covering a variety of topics for Tacoma KOMO through our Community Blogger program. If you are interested in becoming a Community Blogger, introduce yourself here.

Congratulations to seniors Kurtis Pederson, Stephanie Hamilton, Kelsey Witker, Kelly Beck and Michael Rector who will play athletics at their colleges.

Today, Feb. 1, was Signing Day in the St. Ignatius Center Foyer at Bellarmine Prep.

The first four will continue their soccer careers. Perhaps Rector's choice was the only true surprise. He chose Stanford football over UW.
