Analysis: Josh Schumacher developed into one of the nation's top sophomores last year, and he's poised to make another big jump this fall. The top runner for Jesuit High School placed seventh at the Oregon state cross country championship -- where he is the No. 2 returner this fall -- and 34th at the NXN Northwest Regional. On the track, he improved his PBs to 3:54.59 for 1500m and 8:27.07 for 3K to earn a spot at the Brooks PR Invitational, where he ran 8:58.21 to place 13th in the two mile.
Schumacher's dad is Jerry Schumacher, the head coach of the Bowerman Track Club.
