The Rundown

Jack’s career at Marshall started as many might. Inconsistent, struggling on the adverse courses, yet still a good start for any 9th grader. What has transpired these past three years has been beyond anyone’s wildest expectations.

He’s surely reset expectations at Marshall and has left many wondering what his next step may be, because this progression is shocking.

By the end of that freshman year, Jack had turned into a youngster capable of running in the low-17’s (and a 16:27 at the typically fast Turkeyville), then handed in a track season that further cemented himself as one of the better young runners in this 2025 class, his 4:34 1600m ranking #5 amongst that year’s freshman.

A sophomore year saw more climbs forward. This past year is when Bidwell truly put it into overdrive. According to this very informative Battle Creek Enquirer article, Redhawk cross records were shattered seven times this fall. The track record board is also full of his surname, as he holds records from the 800m to the 3200m. Time-wise, he does his thing, though his true talent comes when challenged. We saw this in the D2 State 4×8, where Jack received the rock three seconds back of first, trailing Forest Hills Eastern, DeWitt, and Frankenmuth – all prominent and speedy D2 programs. 110.8 seconds later, he’d cross the line in first, winning by more than 2 seconds. When pressed, we get a glimpse of the places he can go.

I agree with Jack, you’re inspiring. To all Marshall athletes in a tough spot in a competition, to all future Redhawks shooting for records, and to all those 19 minute kids who should never give up hope.
