JOLIET, Ill. -- University of St. Francis announces the signings of three student/athletes to letters-of-intent. All three will enroll at USF in the fall of 2007.

The threesome includes volleyball player Elaina Ambler (Kishwaukee College/Mendota Towship H.S./Mendota, IL), track athlete Jessica Palmer (St. Mary Cathedral H.S./Gaylord, MI) and golfer Lindsey Karlson (Lincoln-Way Central H.S./New Lenox, IL).

Ambler is a two-time all-Arrowhead Conference selection at Kishwaukee College. The outside/right-side hitter helped lead the Kougars to the 2006 NJCAA Division II national championship this past fall. She was voted Most Valuable Player as a senior at Mendota High School and was also a first-team all-NCIC conference pick as a senior.

Palmer is a three-sport athlete and 10-time letterwinner at St. Mary Cathedral High School in Gaylord, Mich. She already owns the St. Mary records in both the 100 and 300-meter hurdles and the long jump entering her senior season. She is also an all-Ski Valley Conference honoree in basketball and volleyball.

Karlson is a two-time letterwinner in golf at Lincoln-Way Central High School. She captured medalist honors at the “Big I” Tournament at Gleneagles Country Club in Lemont, Ill., as a senior this past fall.
