Jacob runs ahead of the pack in a meet earlier this season.

Jacob Alexander has been selected as Warrior Watch’s Male Athlete of the Week ending on 9/30/23. Jacob is a senior and is one of the top runners for the boys’ cross-country team. Last week against Central Mountain, Jacob finished the meet 3rd overall, with a time of 18:22. Unfortunately they lost this meet but it would have been more out of reach if not for Jacob. With that time, Jacob had beaten his personal record for a 5k. 

Senior teammate Braden Brown says Jacob helps push the team to be their best. “He is dedicated to the sport and competes with everyone to be the fastest. If he wasn’t on the team, I don’t know where we would be.” 

 

Facts about Jacob:

Grade: 12

Parents: Dianne and Pete Alexander

Siblings: Erika and Zoe Alexander

Favorite Restaurant: Chipotle

Favorite Memory from XC: Beating Sage in a race

Biggest Goal for the Season: Finish a meet in under 18 minutes
