The Rundown

Man, what’s Coach Kroll got cookin’ up at Churchill? The Chargers have always been a development-based program, seeking massive improvements over their high school career. They may not get the middle school numbers of surrounding programs, they must make the most of the talent that they’ve got. And Joey’s talent is becoming more and more apparent throughout time.

The guy has been going at it for three years now at Churchill, but to me, his arc really began in the fall of ’22. After navigating through his first five meets, he got his first glimpse of that Shepherd magic, lowering his personal best from 18:55 to 17:29. Track saw the PR fest continue, Rohmfeld progressing to a 4:41/10:06.

During Joey’s junior cross season, he also benefitted from the fast track at Shepherd, racing to two personal bests there, each in the low 16:20’s. Those were a precursor to his final act that put him on the list, his 3200m races this spring. Kid set SIX personal bests this season, 9:53 > 9:45 > 9:32 > 9:30 > 9:27 > 9:17. That final PB was at State, a 9th place finish in D1.

From 2:40/5:14 as a freshman to 4:23/9:17 as a junior. A tale of progress that doesn’t look to stop.
