I've known Jared Ward for a good while and saw him progress from a decent runner to an absolute beast in a short time.
Jared is one of the most genuine and humble athletes I've met. Stand up guy all the way. The light switch flipped his junior year at BYU, ever since then, he has had the confidence to match his impeccable training discipline.
I like his chances to make the team. Lot's of great Americans right now but Jared is not injury prone, trains hard/smart and has a high ceiling with upside.
