Nevada senior Eric Atkinson signs a letter of intent to high jump for the Pittsburg State track team beginning in the fall. Atkinson signed the letter at a ceremony Thursday in the high school library with his parents Bill and Lori Atkinson sitting at his side and some of Atkinson's high school coaches standing behind him. Standing from left, James Kinder, John McNeley, Justin Hoover and Robert Watts. "I've wanted to go to Pitt for a long time," Atkinson said. "I always hoped to get a scholarship somewhere."
