PR Track & Field

@Rolando_Speed Thanks, Lima was the only one I could find as well. I knew I could count on you for a some stats research! Pretty cool one for Grant.

In the 3A 800, the only other 4 year qualifier (I believe) is Alex Lima from Lyons, 2012-15. Charlie Kern (York) only missed qualifying in the 800 his sophomore year (2016)--but that year he qualified in the 1600 instead. There have been 6 others who are 3 year qualifiers

More evidence that @grant_jens & @EasyBakeOven01 leave big shoes to be filled by future PRTF athletes. Check out our top 800m performance list.

The 800m at the IL T&F State meet is particularly Jr/Sr dominated in 3A. @grant_jens qualified all 4 yrs in the 800m. I have started digging, but can my fellow coaches help me out with other athletes that have accomplished this in the 800? @MileSplitIL @Rolando_Speed @HDJacobsXC

Not the IHSA state meet they envisioned, but these two led our squad all year & end their careers as the two fast 800m runners in PR history. Ethan in 1:54.47 (‘19 IHSA sectional) & Grant in 1:54.29 (‘18 IHSA final) & a career best of 1:53.10. Holy cow!

Stewart of Decatur wins the 1A 800m in 1:54.93! #BTFState19

Congrats to Grant Jensen. A career that will be hard to rival. 4x state qualifier at 800m, 2x finalist, earned his 2nd medal (9th place) today. We are so proud of you.

Congrats to Ethan Baker, 2x state qualifier, 1x state finalist in the 800m. 10th place today at the IHSA finals. A great runner & better person.

Double qualifiers to Sat.’s 800m final. Congrats to Grant & Ethan! Our traditional meal at Peachtree worked again.@PrhsBoosters @PrairieRidgeHS

Grant’s best tactical race of his career led to a Top Times Championship. Congrats!

Congrats to Mike on a 60m High Hurdle PR & a 15th place finish at his first Illinois Top Times Meet!

Congrats to Grant on signing his letter of intent to run for the University of Illinois Fighting Illini! @PrhsBoosters #ontotrackseason

If you are a talented athlete, enjoy multiple sports. People who promote specialization are promoting their own agenda. twitter.com/hudl/status/10…

He does it again last night in St. Louis. 3rd place in a personal record of 1:53.10. Great work, Grant! @PrhsBoosters

Although he didn’t do it alone (credit to his teammates & @SraTaegePR ), today we can celebrate the remarkable accomplishments of Grant Jensen. Congrats on a great season. I’m so thankful we have another year together! @SKochPR @PrhsBoosters

He ran his best race of the year today. Congrats, Grant! @PrhsBoosters

This group did their team & school proud today. Congrats on a great season & thank you for building PRTF tradition.

Congrats to rising star Ethan Baker for his state meet race & veteran Grant Jensen as he races for a state medal Sat. Afternoon!

It’s back to back 4x400 State Meet qualifications for PRTF. Congrats to our squad of Ethan Baker-Weston Dzurisin-Jackson Willis-Grant Jensen. @PrhsBoosters

This gutsy group overcame the conditions, & a dropped baton, to fight for 2nd place Friday night.

Mike has become dedicated to perfecting the skill of hurdling & his commitment was rewarded at the conference meet. Congrats! @PrhsBoosters
