The Rundown
The frontrunner of the Giants, the underrated, underappreciated team of Kalamazoo County. Jasper’s junior year was one of stupendous growth, both in time and place. Following a sophomore season comprised of many mid-16 efforts, Jasper took another leap forward. He transformed into an athlete that primarily raced in the 15’s, getting there six times over the course of the 2022 season. Among those six were a top-5 finish at Portage and a win against all SMAC competition. The big one though was his 15:22 in Region 3, leading his KC followers to an upset regional victory, one they’ll hope to repeat this year.
