About

Jonah knew he wanted to focus on running after going to Junior Olympic cross country regionals as a sixth grader in his very first season of competition — it was a thrill to be in the Adirondacks on a crisp fall day surrounded by the top distance runners from seven states. Jonah loves the camaraderie of racing as a team in cross country, and the individual pursuit of personal bests on the track. Before turning to running full-time, he played winger and wingback for town and club soccer teams and point guard for his town basketball team. When not on trail or track, Jonah can be found on the stage: he is performing in Weston Drama Workshop's production of High School Musical at Regis College this summer, and will be joining Weston's all-boys a cappella ensemble in the fall.
