Salute to Seniors: Sarah Jacobsen

What was you most memorable meet or race?

My most memorable meet was at the State meet 2012. Every runner plays out the race or dreams of what it could be and I feel that race was exactly how I dreamed it would be. I felt great, had a good time and everything was perfect! 

Out of all your high school accomplishments, which stands out the most?

Out of all my high school accomplishments getting All State (14th place) my freshman year after passing out of heat exhaustion is my accomplishment I am most proud of. 

If you could do it all over again is there anything you would change?

If I could do it all over again I would listen to my body more. 

What were the most difficult obstacles you had to overcome?

The most difficult obstacles I have had to over come was being injured junior cross country season and senior track season. Not being able to do what I love every day was torture to me. Being patient with the healing and rebuilding process was very hard to do. 

What will you miss the most?

What I will miss most is my coach, Steve Davis. It has been a privilege to run for him the past 6 years and he has been a great coach and role model to be around. 

Do you have any advice for younger athletes?

Advice I have for younger athletes is to always enjoy running. Don't put so much pressure on yourself to where running is not fun anymore. No matter what believe in yourself, have confidence in your training, and just enjoy the opportunity. 

What are your college plans?

My college plans are to run for the University of Missouri. I am still undecided on a major.

Who would you like to thank?

I would like to thank God for all the opportunities He has given me and the privilege to run, my family for all their support and never giving up on me, my coach for giving me all the tools I will ever need to be a successful runner, and last but not least MoMileSplit for all they do. The coverage and effort put into this site is amazing!
