6 Richland seniors sign to continue athletic careers

Yahoo16-05-2025

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (WTAJ) – As we approach the end of the scholastic year, six Richland High School seniors signed on Friday to continue their athletic careers at the next level. The group was headlined by Jude Mugerwa, who will run track at the Division I level for the University of Vermont.
'I was so excited when I found out they would like me to be on their team,' Mugerwa said.
'Bocce ball is for all,' becomes official sport in LHAC
He didn't always envision himself sticking with track though.
'When I was a kid, I wanted to be a Division I football player,' Mugerwa said. 'But I kind of fell out of love for football.'
Mugerwa's focus shifted to track heading into his senior year, putting in his full effort to try and keep his Division I dream alive.
'I'm still making my younger self happy with that,' Mugerwa said. 'I'm really happy I could achieve that dream.'
He was part of a Richland track and field program that won back-to-back District VI Championships for both the boys and girls on Thursday. Austin Yarnick and Henry Levander, who both signed to run track for Pitt-Johnstown, also played pivotal roles in helping the Rams repeat as champs.
'It's been unprecedented,' Yarnick said. 'It's just like the culture we've built. We want to win, we put the work in and we all win.'
'That meant a lot to us as a team,' Levander said. 'Being a leader, (repeating) meant so much to me.'
Levander's brother Charlie just graduated from Pitt-Johnstown and was also a member of the Mountain Cats track and field team.
Taylor Mitchell will also head to Pitt-Johnstown to continue her cheerleading career, while Taylor Stape will cheer during Saint Francis' final season as a Division I program.
'I'm really excited about being in Division I this year even though they are switching to Division III (after next year),' Stape said. 'They just have a beautiful campus there, the people are so nice and I just can't wait to get started.'
'I know the (UPJ) coaches really well, I grew up with them,' Mitchell said. 'I'm excited to continue on my cheer journey.'
Nathaniel Mayket signed with Waynesburg University's tennis and esports teams, which won two national championships this past week.

MSU target, 4-star RB Damon Ferguson commits to Pitt

MSU target, 4-star RB Damon Ferguson commits to Pitt Michigan State football is still in search for a running back prospect in the 2026 class, with another top target now off the board. Four-star running back Damon Ferguson announced his commitment to Pitt on Monday morning. Ferguson posted on his social media X account to announce his commitment to the Panthers, which comes after taking an official visit there this past weekend. Ferguson is a four-star running back prospect with a recruiting rating of 89.33 in 247Sports' composite system. He ranks as the No. 26 running back and No. 381 overall prospect in 247Sports' composite rankings for the 2026 class. Michigan State is one of a few schools that were prioritizing Ferguson's recruitment before his commitment to the Pitt Panthers. He was set to take an official visit to Michigan State next week, and Indiana, Minnesota and Virginia were also heavily involved in his recruitment with official visits either planned or already occurring. Michigan State has now struck out on a pair of four star running back prospects in Ferguson and Kory Amachree of nearby Haslett, Mich. The Spartans will need to look elsewhere as their running backs board is starting to look thin in the 2026 class.
