"When you put a wrestler in a running singlet you get one tough competitor. Jonathan has some great tools and has shown he can run some very good races. I think the courses that require the greatest amount of physical and mental toughness will play to his favor. He's  part of a freshmen group that is going to surprise a lot throughout their whole career."
