WXCD: Hows your summer going?
J: It was going really well, but some stuff happened with our family that kind of blew it off track, but it's getting better.
WXCD: What are you looking forward to this upcoming XC season?
J: Basically seeing the team placing at Regionals. A lot of fresh faces and a lot of laughs. Also an obscure trip somewhere cool.
WXCD: So, you are going to be the manager this season, what are your duties?
J: I'm probably going to be timing, just for the sake of timing things. I'll be writing a lot of numbers, I won't even write times, I'll just write down some numbers so coach thinks I'm writing stuff. I'll be passing out a lot of cold towels, runners need cold towels. I've got a sweet idea to make a t-shirt. It's a really cool design, it has a hawk on it. Even though we are the warriors, I wanted to incorporate a hawk. A warrior killing a hawk. And later in the year I'll be attending the Annual Managers Meeting in the Mountains (AMMM), doing managerial things, like tabulating how many cold towels I passed out.
WXCD: Sounds like you've got your hands full?
J: Yep, that's the name of the game.
WXCD: Your friend and former teammate Kanwar Dhaliwal will be trying out for the Stan State men's team this year. Tell us about Kanwar?
J: He's definitely a good kid. He has really clean teeth and he's pretty fast. He and I have ran a lot together. He runs kind of like an antelope or an ostrich sometime. But seriously he's a good runner and he'll fit in well with the team. I love that kid. And I'm going to try to keep him away from Palmer and Tyler, because they will literally eat him alive.
WXCD: What was the highlight of this past track season?
J: The day I almost caught Eric in a 300, when he ran a 46 and I ran a 48. Even though that's not even close to catching him, I had no idea my legs could run that fast. It felt like I was on a spaceship.
WXCD: You are a self proclaimed movie buff. Favorite movie, actor, and genre?
J: Favorite movie is "Almost Famous" which is about a young journalist. My favorite genre is comedy, I love a good laugh. And I love comedies, I love a good laugh. And I like George Clooney. Fun fact, he is also a spokesman for the U.S. to the United Nations, and he has a masters degree.
WXCD: What do you want to be when you grow up?
J: 1. I want to write the theme songs to short lived sitcoms.
2. I want to be a war journalist.
3. I want to have some type of job in the White House.
4. If all else fails, I'll sell crack. But I won't be a mean crack dealer, I'll be a nice one and say, "Hey, you, want some crack?"
WXCD: Final question: Who is your hero?
J: My hero is my father, who went from working at a gas station for $3.15 an hour to owning a multi-million dollar gas station. And George Clooney.
