VIDEO: Northwest Grad Joins Penn State Soccer Team

Britt Eckerstrom is a former track and cross-country star for Northwest High School.

It seems Northwest grad Britt Eckerstrom has officially traded her running spikes for soccer cleats — the former high school track star has joined Penn State's women's soccer team.

In a YouTube clip provided by Penn State Athletics, Eckerstrom gushes about being on the new team, why she misses running and what she's looking forward to her first year of college.

While she did not play soccer for Northwest (she lettered 12 times in cross country, indoor and outdoor track), Eckerstrom did participate in club soccer locally.
