JONATHAN ROSSING PLACES 7TH AT SAN ANTONIO HALF-MARATHON

San Antonio, TX - RunCoachJason.com athlete Jonathan Rossing, a doctoral student in communication and culture at Indiana University, took seventh place at the San Antonio Half-Marathon on November 12.  His time of 1:15:20, an average pace of 5:45 per mile, was a personal record by one minute and 43 seconds.  Rossing, who won the International Gay Games Marathon in Chicago in July, will run the New Las Vegas Marathon on December 10.

“I’m very excited for Jonathan.  He has come a long way since we started working together in January,” Coach Jason Karp said.  “He is at a different level now.  I fully expect him to blow away his personal record and run in the mid-2:30s at the New Las Vegas Marathon in four weeks.”
