Lexy Boschee, a multi-sport letter winner and state champion at Glacier High School, has signed a national letter-of-intent to compete in track at North Dakota State University in Fargo, N.D.

She will be on a full-ride scholarship.

Boschee also had offers from Michigan State, University of Minnesota, Montana and Montana State.

NDSU is looking at Boschee eventually competing in the seven-event heptathlon (javelin, shot put, high jump, long jump, 100 hurdles, 200 and 800).

Boschee, who as born in Fargo, made an unofficial visit to NDSU last August. She was offered a scholarship on a scheduled trip last month.

Boschee is a three-year letter winner in track at GHS and four-year letter winner in volleyball.

In volleyball, she was named to first and second Class AA all-state teams as an outside hitter the last two seasons.

The 5-foot-7 senior is a five-time Class AA state champion in track - three times in the high jump and once in both the long jump (2011) and triple jump (2910).

She cleared 5-8 in the high jump to win state last spring, which matches her personal best in that event.

Boschee competed in five state events in 2011 - high jump, long jump, triple jump (fourth place), 100 hurdles (fourth place) and 300 hurdles (did not place) - and scored 28 points for the Wolfpack. Her career state scoring total is 72.5 points.

She is the GHS record holder in the 100 (15.32), 200 (46.64) and high jump (5-8).

Her father Jerry is the head girls track coach at Glacier. He competed at NDSU on a full-ride scholarship as a sprinter (1986-90) and was a member of two relay teams that set Bison records.

Her mother, Michele, was also on a NDSU scholarship as a hurdler.

Lexy Boschee plans to major in interior design or art education.

She will compete in the high jump at the Simplot Games indoor track meet in Pocatello, Idaho, this weekend. Boschee has finished second the last two years at this premier event for high school athletes.
