"I have decided to continue my track and field career at Central Michigan," Assink said. "I love the sport and the way they run their track program. I am hoping this opportunity allows me to reach my future goals."
Assink still has one more high school season to go - with some unfinished business.
"It was a season of almosts as she just missed breaking the school record in shot by a few inches, and also just missed all-state honors in disc by a few inches," Zeeland West coach Aaron Kenemer said. "However, I'm so proud of her season, not only for her throwing, but more by being a good teammate."
