Bio
Prior to Hartnell: Jonathan comes from Salinas High School where he placed 3rd overall at the Salinas City Championship as a senior and 5th overall at the Monterey Bay League Championship. He was the Salinas City Junior Varsity individual champion as a junior in his first year of running. A CCS qualifier, Jonathan placed 23rd overall. He brings in Toro Park and Crystal Springs personal bests of 16:39 and 16:20.
On the track, Jonathan has good range running 2:03 for the 800 meters, 4:46 for the 1600 meters, and 10:10 for 3200 meters. He qualified for the MBL Masters Meet both years.
"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."
