The Rundown

Stepping into a pressure-packed cross-country season, high expectations, the speedratings guy ranking your team #1, with the potential of being one of the better Division 4 teams ever. Many first-year cross country runners may have folded. Jackson accomplished the opposite, putting together a solid year with a speedy end.

He, along with his Puma teammates put the state on notice with a 16:34 at Under the Lights, winning the Twilight race over a field of D1/D2 teams. Having played soccer and only one season of track, it took a bit of time to get acquitted to racing on grass. Come late September, he was able to reach the low-16’s at Allendale. Come late October, he mastered the Allendale course and then mastered adverse conditions at MIS. Now the Pumas have moved up a division, defending their title in a new realm, where Jackson will take the lessons he learned and hopefully apply them to another title.
