The Rundown

Doing these rankings and writings, I tend to be desensitized to times, but believe me, Jeb’s been on my radar for awhile now. As a freshman in cross, he was able to slip under 17:00, an admirable mark for any 9^th grader. Once a sophomore, you knew a solid season was in the cards once he popped a 17:16 at the tough Michigan Catholic meet. And that came to fruition, albeit a little late, with a 16:13 at MITCA.

His 3200m qualifier in that same sophomore year was NOT a little bit late. Region 13 qualified many on that day in 2023, and Jeb was one of the runners able to step up to the plate. Since that day, he’s shown the guts to get it done on pressure-packed days, such as an OK Gold title this past spring, or a 9:23 (10^th place) in the rain at Hamilton. Through ebbs and flows, we’ve seen Jeb come up big late, and trust me, the flow is ever more rapid.
