Pair of Jackson Runners to Compete at the College Level

Not one but two Jackson distance runners will be headed to the East Coast to compete at the college level, as Jack Overbay will be attending Bates College in Maine, and Boomer Weisman will be going to Wesleyan University in Connecticut. Both of these young men competed in cross country, indoor, and outdoor track in their prep careers.

Overbay was 11th at the 2024 4A State Cross Country Meet in Cheyenne in 16.56.70, and he displayed marked improvement from his junior year when he finished 39th. At the State Outdoor Track Championships, Overbay took 3rd in the 4A 800 meters in 1.56.58 and was 5th in the 1600 in 4.26.95. He took 6th place in the 4A 800 meters at the State Indoor Track Championships in 2.01.29 and was 16th in the 1600.

Weisman competed at the 4A State Cross Country Meet and took 30th in 2024 and 21st in his junior season. At the Outdoor Championships in May, Weisman was 10th in the 4A 3200 meters in 9.50.24 and 13th in the 1600 with a clocking of 4.33.17. On the indoor track circuit, Weisman placed 10th in the 4A 1600 and 15th in the 3200.

Both Overbay and Weisman ran in the Nike Cross Country Nationals in Boise, and both will be competing at the next level in the New England Small College Conference, which is in Division III.
