Coach Jarrell is a former state qualifier in both cross country and track and field. He competed at Saint John’s Jesuit High School and finished 27th overall at the state cross country meet in 2014. Coach Jarrell was also a member of the cross country and track team while attending Ohio State.
“I’m very excited to bring Nick into our La Salle community as the new head cross country coach,” Athletic Director Brian Meyer shared. “Coach Jarrell has great knowledge and experiences as a runner from his time at Ohio State and Saint John’s Jesuit. He is excited and ready to share his knowledge of running with our student-athletes.”
