Name: Jackson Henstrom
School: Corner Canyon
Most memorable race: Running 9:02 at Arcadia the atmosphere was so electric and the competition was insane
Biggest Competition: I was only in Utah for 2 years but I'd say someone who always pushed me was Seth Wallgren
Winning state track the last 2 years
I would probably start running track freshman year instead of starting junior year and I would have started taking it more seriously before junior year
I had a ton of challenges but the biggest obstacle I had to overcome was missing all of senior xc this last year due to a stress fracture in my sacrum that put me out for 6 months. It was such a physical, emotional, and mental challenge and it set back for early track as well but I was able to overcome it and have a pretty good season
I'll miss my teammates and messing around with them as well as early morning xc meets those just hit different
enjoy every moment of high school running and work as hard as you can because it will be over before you know it
My coach has had a big impact on my performance and life goals. His training has helped to get the best out of me and helped me run faster than I ever thought I could have
I'm not sure where I'm running in college yet but I'm serving a 2-year mission in Tanzania first so hopefully, I'll be committed before I leave
I'd just like to give a big thanks to all the boys for pushing me these last few years and give my family a big shoutout especially my mom for being such a great support system through all my trials in the sport
