Profile - Jeremy is a guy who has found competitive running again after running for Mercyhurst College from 1998- 2001. A deep love for running stems from an amazing district champion high school Cross country and track team at Madison in the late 90’s with Nick Cordes and Matt Fabian who both went on to run for Ashland. Now Jeremy is taking the 365 day challenge this year running everyday and ready to race. Jeremy ran over 20 road races last season and is currently the over-all Ashtabula County road race grand prix champion. He loves to train with other members of the race team including, Jessica, Bill and Steve and also coaches the runners at Madison high school.
Goals- To be one of the fastest adults in north East Ohio. And run a few races this year in the 16’s
