"Jonathan had a near dream season in the spring after a solid first cross country season. He flirted with making the top 7 in the fall and just missed all-conference behind his fellow teammate Christian Aldape. The steeplechase success he had in the spring was a great example of his future cross country ability as he is able to maintain a high level of effort no matter how many obstacles are in his way."
