Athletic Director Bob Thayer: this season was "maybe the best...in a decade."

The senior track and cross country runner is one of the best in the midwest.

If Lakewood High senior Nick Jackosky hosted a dinner party for his competitors, he'd probably serve them dust. In a pair of recent three-mile cross country runs, Jackosky finished first and second, respectively. The gold finish came last week at Strongsville’s Fleet Feet run as he coasted to victory with a time of 16:23.  Over the weekend, he competed against 150 runners from several states at the McQuaid Invitational in Rodchester, N.Y. and took silver with a time of 15:40, LHS boys head cross country coach Mike Schreiner said.  “Nick is an incredibly hard worker, and he’s really a motivated kid,” Schreiner said. “He’s very determined to be the best he can be at anything, including academics. He’s a wonderful teammate and runner who’s …
