It was windy day at VOA Park for the District race, but Jackson ran a smart race and came away the District Champ!

Jackson overcame a week of being sick with a bad cold to qualify for the State Meet!

It's always nice to win at home!

A review of Jackson's win in his 2015 home meet at Bethel-Tate.

Despite a bad cramp, Jackson was able to pull off a great kick at the finish at this event. He turned a 2.4 second deficit into a 0.4 lead over third place in roughly 75 Meters.

A quick trip through the first Cross Country meet of the 2015 season.

A very quick video of Jackson's win at the Goshen meet, 2015.

We put this video together so I could share some of my Cross Country experience with my family. This was the first video we did for my running.

A quick video of Jackson's win at the New Richmond Cross Country meet, 2015.

This, according to Jackson, is "pretty basic pre-race stuff". This was filmed at New Richmond during the 2017 season.

Jackson won the League Championship race in perfect race weather.

A quick video of Jackson's win at the Jim Neu Invitational at Western Brown, 2015.

A quick video of Jackson's win at the Williamsburg meet, 2015. It was cold and wet and the woods were treacherous, so the race was shortened to approximately 2 miles.
