As a freshman, Jack joined us after being part of the 8th grade XC team
that placed 4th in State. He ran three years of cross country in
junior high. Jack dedicated himself this summer to get in great
shape when he ran over 300 miles. He joined our team's 300 mile
club. He showed great intensity in practice as he always tried to
run with the top
group despite being the youngest. Jack opened up his high school
career
by earning a medal in the Charleston Invitational by placing 3rd in the
open
race. His high place also helped his team earn a perfect score in
the
open race. He ran a great time of 17:25 which was fast enough to
earn
him a spot on our team's fastest top 15 freshman times list for the
Charleston
Invitational. Jack made his way onto the
News-Gazette
prep cross country leaders in September. Jack went on to earn a
medal
at the Springfield Invitational by placing 7th. His time was 7th
fastest
freshman time we have ever had and it earned him a spot on our fastest
times
list for Springfield. He earned enough letter points after his
2nd
race to earn a varsity letter. Jack ran one of the fastest times ever
by
a MS freshman at the Peoria Notre Dame invitational. He ran a
16:55
to earn a spot on our team's 16's list. He also earned a spot on
our team's fastest PND times list by being the 5th fastest freshman we
have had
at this meet. He led his fresh/soph team to have one of the
highest finishes we have had at this invite. Jack ran another
great time at
the East Peoria Invitational with a 17:02. This was the 8th
fastest
time we have ever had on this course by a freshman. Jack ran a
17:36 on our home course at our 1 team Mahomet-Seymour
Invitational. This was the 9th fastest time that a freshman has
run on our home course. Jack made his way onto the
News Gazette Prep Cross Country Leaders List in October. Jack ran
another great time at the Metamora Invitational with a 17:06. His
time was the 6th fastest time we have ever had a freshman run on this
course. Jack ran a 17:15 on a wet course at the Conference
meet. He placed a very high 6th in the open race.
