Rod DeHaven is always a great one to interview. Rod gives a preview of what is to come this weekend at the Griak Invite.
“Get on performance enhancing drugs, figure out ways to cut the course and then I think we’ll be in the top five,” jokes DeHaven on the perfect recipe for Jackrabbit success.

The Jacks ran an average race placing 15th of 21 teams. Last years finish was 14th of 18. The Griak fields vary by year and this years was the deepest in recent history with 6 teams ranked in the top 30 nationally and many others ranked regionally. A high point of this meet was that the Jacks beat Drake who had beaten them handily two weeks earlier. Below is a comparison from this year to last year. Times are much faster and the Jacks are looking forward to conference.
