US#8 Jacob Burcham of Cabell Midland concludes his fabulous cross country career tomorrow at the Nike Cross Nationals (NXN) in Portland, Oregon at the Portland Meadows 5K course. He earned the right to compete for the NXN by winning the Nike Cross Nationals Southeast Regional meet in Cary, NC at the WakeMed Socer Park last Saturday with a time of 15:09.
Burcham lost once this year to US#13 Jacob Thomson of Holy Cross High Scool in Kentucky at the Trinity/Valkrie Invitational on 9/14/2012, but he has not lost since. As of late, Burcham has been on a tear breaking course records with his last record breaking performance on his home and state meet course at Cabell Midland high school in 14:58.04 at the West Virginia AAA State Championship.
You can watch him live at 2:30 p.m. EST at: Nike Cross Nationals and Foot Locker West (Live webcast!)
