 The VHS track and field teams up and running in the last part of their regular season. But before they get ready for the post season, a pair of lumberjack runners put pen to paper this afternoon. Isaac Berg and Cody Roder are teammates for the next month, but will be rivals in the same conference next season. Berg hopes to run cross-country and long distance for North Dakota State while Roder will continue his track career at North Dakota at the mid-distance level. An exciting afternoon for both athletes, but for one in particular, it's following and familiar footsteps. I wanted somewhere kind of close and had my major which is some engineering and they have a great program and I guess it's kind of been influencing me on a little bit. My dad went there back in the 80s and I guess one of the few things that hasn't changed since he went there. It's the same head coach, Don Larson, could be my coach next year and he was my dad's also. The biggest thing was is that they kind of reached out to me a little bit more than I reached out to them and it really showed that they wanted me and then I went into it there and I just kind of knew that it was the right fit.
