Fort Wayne, IN-Coach Mike Fruchey announces the signing of Kokomo High School senior Ryan Perry to the 2007 IPFW squad.

Perry, a four-year letter winner with the Wildkat's, helped lead the Kokomo High School boys cross country team to a 14th place finish in the New Haven Semi-State meet this past October.

Perry has a personal best time of 16:31 in the 5K distance.

"Ryan is a great recruit for our program. He brings a work ethic and toughness that will ensure his success, as well as benefiting our team," stated Coach Fruchey.

Perry joins a Mastodon squad who will lose only two seniors, Andrew Gritzmaker and Mike Ridenour.
