Three runners sign NLIs
Three North Allegheny runners signed letters of intent to continue their running careers at the next level.
Greg Abel signed with High Point University to run track and field. Abel has started the 2025 season off strong coming in first-place in the 1,600-meter run at North Allegheny’s opening meet of the season. Abel will be joining a Panthers team that competes in the Big South. High Point has finished in the top five at the Big South Championships every year since 2012. He will major in International Business.
Jackson Beemer will continue his career at Kenyon College to run cross country and track and field. In the fall, Beemer finished in 33rd place at the WPIAL Championships along with a 64th place finish at the PIAA Championships. Beemer is joining a Kenyon squad that has produced two All-Americans, 32 all-Region runners and at least one All-NCAC performer every year since 1993. Beemer will major in English/History.
Zachary Nash will run at Duquesne next season. Nash got off to a great start in the spring 2025 season winning the 400-meter dash against North Hills and Shaler in North Allegheny’s opener on March 19. Zach also played soccer for North Allegheny in the fall where he scored seven goals for the Tigers along while receiving All-Section and All-WPIAL honors. Nash will join a Dukes team that competes in the Atlantic 10 Conference. He will major in Biology.
All three Tigers are a big part of a North Allegheny boys’ track and field team that is looking to get back to the mountain top and win WPIAL gold like they did in 2023 after a third place finish a year ago. The Tigers are currently 2-0 overall and in the section on the young season and will return to action on Wednesday, April 9 at home against Butler at 3:30 p.m.
