VU’s Adi Fuller signs with Morehead State University
VINCENNES, Ind. – Vincennes University sophomore and member of the VU Cross Country and Track and Field teams Adi Fuller (Evansville, Ind.) signed her letter of intent this week to join the Cross Country and Track teams at NCAA Division I Morehead State University next season.
“I signed with Morehead State because of the opportunities that were given to me,” Fuller said. “Coach Dixon created an opportunity for me that I couldn’t turn down. Given the opportunity to run at the Division I level has been a dream since I can remember and when Morehead State reached out and I looked at how their program was excelling, I knew I wanted to be a part of that. The team was so welcoming and it felt like home the second I walked onto campus.”
Fuller set her personal best on the Cross Country course at the 2023 NJCAA Division I National Championships in Alabama last season, leading the Trailblazers with a time of 20:09.4 and placing 71st overall.
Fuller then followed that performance up with a 35th place finish three days later in the Half Marathon Championships.
Fuller was just short of her PR at this year’s Cross Country Nationals, finishing with a time of 20:15.2 to take 92nd overall and put the VU Women’s team in 19th place as a team.
Fuller then saved her best for last on the Cross Country course, finishing off her sophomore Cross Country season with a 32nd place finish in the Half Marathon Championships, taking 32nd overall with a time of 1:34:05.9.
Fuller has also been a standout performer for the Trailblazer Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field team, competing in multiple mid-distance and distance races.
Fuller set her best time in the Mile earlier this Indoor season at the John Gartland Invitational, finishing with a time of 5:26.32.
She has also competed in the 800 meters, where she set a time of 2:26.86 at the Jim Vargo Invitational last season, 1500m (4:55.85, Billy Hayes Invitational) and 3000m Steeplechase (11:45.67, GVSU Extra Weekend Meet).
Fuller competed last year at the NJCAA Indoor National Championships as a member of the Distance Medley Relay and 4×800 Relay teams. Fuller and her teammates took 12th in the DMR and 13th overall in the 4×800.
Fuller capped off last year’s Outdoor Track and Field season in style at the National Championships, taking 19th overall in the 3000m Steeplechase and placing 27th overall in the 5000m.
“My favorite memory at VU was when I was running the 3k Steeplechase and I was trying so hard to qualify for Nationals and when I did my friends and teammates were so excited for me,” Fuller added. “They reminded me why I love this sport.”
Fuller is still looking to add more to her resume this season as she continues her Indoor Track and Field season next weekend at the 2025 NJCAA Indoor National Championships in Lubbock, Tex.
Fuller will then set her sights on having another solid Outdoor season, beginning Thursday, March 27 and Friday, March 28, with the WashU Distance Carnival in St. Louis, Mo.
“Vincennes University has provided a strong foundation both athletically and academically to help me transition to a four-year school,” Fuller said. “Vincennes has helped me prepare myself for the next level. Coach Tyler has pushed me to improve my times and has helped me be a better athlete and person overall. Competing against strong opponents and balancing an intense training schedule prepared me for the challenges I will face at a four-year university.”
“Vincennes University helped me with time management, personal responsibility and academic support, which all have prepared me for the higher expectations at a university,” Fuller added. “The smaller class sizes and professors allowed me to build strong study habits and take my education seriously, making sure I am prepared for the next step in my academic journey.”
The Vincennes University Athletic Department would like to congratulate Adi Fuller on her signing with Morehead State University and wishes her good luck as she continues her running career next season.
