Jackson Dominant At NJCAA National Championships

Broome cross country runner running
Aja Jackson

Aja Jackson delivered an incredible 6th place overall finish out of 98 runners on Saturday. 

Jackson ran to a time of 20:08.60 which was by far her season best. Jackson finished only two places and 10 seconds behind Amelia Bowman-McCoy of Herkimer, who was the 2023 Region III women's cross country champion when Aja was the runner-up. Jackson's time was not far off from her personal best time of 19:41 that she turned in at the National Championships last year in Massachusetts. 

With her performance this weekend, Aja became a two-time NJCAA All-American, a great accomplishment. Jackson also met her personal goal of finishing in the top-15 that she set prior to the race. Congratulations Aja!
