Former Wyomissing runner and 2001 PIAA AA State Medalist in the 1600, John (Pete) Janson of the University of Colorado, won the Men\'s Junior 8km at the USA Cross Country Championships in Indianapolis, going 24:14, ten seconds better than future Buffaloes teammate Ryan Deak. Wyo Indoor Head Coach Matt Babiarz reports that Janson set the school record his sophomore year, and then his family moved to Texas. His 2nd place 4:25.31 in 2001 was just behind State Champ Andrew Diffenderfer of Greencastle-Antrim. Janson went on to post a high school career best of 04:10.52 at the Texas Relays in 2003. \"It hurt to lose him,\" Babiarz understated. Janson will now represent the US as part of the men\'s Junior XC Team racing March 20-21 in Brussels, Belgium.
