June 24, 2008
White Rock Christian Academy midde-distance runner Spencer Jackson’s second-place finish was the high water mark for Peninsula athletes at the Harry Jerome Track Classic – a meet that saw a total of six locals snag top five placings.
Jackson’s silver medal at the prestigious Vancouver meet came in the 1,500 m race in the boys’ high school division.
Jackson crossed the finish line in four minutes and 8.7 seconds – three seconds behind winner Ahmed Mohamed of Fleetwood Park.
The silver medal run was the capper off a great week for Jackson, who earlier signed a letter of intent to run next season at Liberty University – an NCAA Div. 1 school in Virginia. In the same event, Jackson’s WRCA teammate, Carl Johnston, placed fifth.
