Jake Graham comeback

Yea kid was a great high school runner and he just kind of disappeared after a season of XC for Lake Erie.Glad to see him and his teammate doing well.Both dropped very nice times. I hear the new coach over there is doing some really good things.

Yes I was also very impressed. What was the injury or the long layoff for?

It was about a year? Kid has a good shot of winning GLIAC down the road and being a national competitor from what I have seen in his high school races.

Can we not make threads about irrelevant people please? Thank you.

well i feel like this thread relates to me in some way as this coming track season i want to break, 2 for 800m, 4 for 1500m, and 9 for 3000m.

but in the immediate future. (its winter, cross country season here in australia)

i want to break 20 minutes for 6k at my national cross country.

Hey, 15th at All-Ohio is somewhat relevant! Not bad after two surgeries and many months of injuries. The comeback continues. Although no one calls him Jake any more.
