Jeffrey T. Howard
Born March 29th, 1994 in LaGrande, Oregon, Jeff Howard is more than you would expect him to be. Currently a Senior at Charles A. Sprague High School, Jeff is competing in his 3rd strait year of Cross Country, running a season's best 12:33.00 in the 2 mile while his other times are unknown. But to be completely honest... he's not a distance runner. Track & Field has run through his veins since he had just started grade school. Just last season he managed to make top of the lists for 4 Team Sprague running catagories:

100m: 00:11.51 (dry weather time ≈ 00:10.80)

200m: 00:22.27

400m: 00:50.56

400m relay split: 00:50.40

During the Central Valley District (CVC District) Championships, Jeff was expected to possibly beat Ian Silbernagel in the 200m, and finish 2nd in the 400m. However, it turned out to be the opposite. Jeff eventualy went on the win the 400m dash in a time of 00:50.57 with a brilliant kick at the end after starting on the far outside lane. But in the 200m dash, things took a turn for the worst. Right from the blocks, Jeff couldn't seem to explode the way he had been doing earlier in the season. Despite his best efforts, he finished the race 3rd behind race winner Ian Silbernagel and runner-up Jacob Kelly. It was discovered that 2 possibilities were in play that could be one or the other or both. The 1st theory was that the 400m had drained Jeff's energy and showed in his 200. The 2nd theory was that Jeff's previouse hip flexor had been the case, considering that it had been a major issue for him almost 2 weeks before the district meet.
