Jessie made an
impression on Coach Mike Collins with her
performances at the Footlocker Midwest races,
which is one of the premier high school cross
country events in the nation.
“They run this race on
the course in Kenosha, Wisconsin, a course we
have run our national championships on in the
past and where we are returning to this upcoming
season,” Collins says.“She has run a time on the
Kenosha course equal to what both Tausha Kuzmic
and Lacey Way ran on the same course in 2002.The
exciting thing about this is that they both
finished in the top 20 and earned their first
All-American awards that year.I do not want to
place too much pressure on Jessie, but I believe
that she will run well for us here and her
personality and motivation is one that will make
those around her better as well.”
