Clark County Student Athletes Sign With Colleges

Students from across Clark County made their college choices official on Wednesday, the first day of the early National Signing Day period for non-football athletes. The announcement marks the initial phase of the signing process, with several schools planning ceremonies for Thursday to account for the Veterans Day holiday.

The list of local athletes who committed or signed during this period includes students from schools in Henderson, Las Vegas, Boulder City, and other communities. Among the signatories are athletes headed to major Division I programs as well as smaller institutions. The group spans multiple sports, including baseball, softball, swimming, soccer, and volleyball.

Faith Lutheran High School produced the largest contingent of signers. The school had 17 students commit to colleges. Cash Martin signed with Stanford for baseball, while Allen Gyang committed to Michigan for men’s swimming. Summer Mudadu will attend Texas A&M for women’s swimming, and Liam Radke signed with North Carolina for baseball. Isabella Zarkos committed to Boston College for women’s swimming.

Bishop Gorman High School contributed 15 athletes to the list. Logan Grubbs will play baseball at Rice University, and Justin Rodrigues signed with Florida State for the same sport. Allie Breitling committed to Yale for women’s volleyball. In swimming, Sienna Zauder from Arbor View High School signed with the University of Nevada, Reno.

Other notable commitments include Sloane Merrell from Centennial High School, who will play softball at Purdue University. Tyler Merto of Desert Pines High School signed with Colorado State for men’s basketball. Sam Gao from The Meadows High School committed to Johns Hopkins University for men’s swimming. Aislin McMahon of Sky Pointe High School will compete in women’s cross country at Iowa State.

Some schools, such as Coronado and Palo Verde, had multiple athletes sign for various sports. Micah Weiss from Coronado committed to Colorado State University Pueblo for women’s lacrosse. At Palo Verde, Kayleen Enriquez signed with UC Riverside for softball. The signing period allows these athletes to lock in their enrollment before the football signing day in December.

The decisions were reported by Alex Wright of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The list includes students who plan to sign during this first early period as well as those with current early commitments. The next major signing event for local athletes may occur in December, coinciding with the early football signing day.
