Kansas Wesleyan track and cross country coach Jeff Barker announces the signing of a pair of cross country and track and field athletes for the 2009-2010 seasons to letters of intent.

Kyle Sieve of Topeka Seaman and Jordan Evans of Clay Center have signed to become Coyotes next year.

Sieve, a senior at Topeka’s Seaman High School, will run cross country and track at Kansas Wesleyan next year.

Sieve starred for the Vikings and coach Eric Meyer. Sieve ran a 16:48 5K last fall, and helped his team win their KSHSAA Class 5A Regional Championship and qualify as a team for the State Championships. He finished 14th overall at the KSHSAA Class 5A State Meet at Lawrence’s Rim Rock Cross Country course, and continued on to earn First Team All-Centennial League honors, and First Team All-Region honors in Class 5A. He was also named First Team All-City by the Topeka Capital-Journal.
