THE SUMMER PREVIEW

Just as her brother, Jessica will likely be unavailable to run for Shelby this year.
As I’m 100% about embracing our best XC athletes, it’s only right that she’s included in here.

The Rundown
Jessica has forever been a girl unafraid and aggressive. We’ve seen it in every season.
Her freshman cross season was one learning the intricacies of the sport, learning how to deal with adversity and growth. Track saw her compete in ten events, ranging from the 100 (sub-14!) to the 300h (51!) to her usual distance events. She competed in four of those distance events at the D3 State Finals, helping the Hart team to 29 points in their state championship.
The following June, more of the same. Contributions to 29 points, helping the Pirates narrowly come out ahead of Olivet for another title. Already with 2 miles of racing in her legs, she won her first track state title. Sacrificing fast times for team goals, the world kindly paying her off.
Facing off against Rachel Forsyth a few times in instances where others might cower. Hanging with her for as long as possible at Shepherd, pulling to a personal best (10:24). Confident in her summer training, ready to show out at Benzie, but ultimately settling for 2nd place.
She’d always set the pace early in XC State Finals, daring anyone to follow. Some did, but her toughness always prevailed, winning back-to-back D3 titles.
Knowing she’s good enough to compete with the nation’s best in her prime late-season form. 11th place at Foot Locker as a sophomore, 9th as a junior.
This next year is full of uncertainty. We’ll see you compete at NC State, forever aggressive and unafraid.
