One year ago, Jager was a 1,500m specialist, who didn’t qualify for the Olympic Trials, and in 2009 he qualified for the 2009 World Outdoor Championships by placing third in June at the USA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Ore. Jager’s time of 13:22.18 from the USA Championships is a new personal best performance, bettering his previous PR by seven seconds. Jager’s life changed dramatically when the day prior to beginning his sophomore year at the University of Wisconsin he decided to leave school and turn pro after learning that his college cross country mentor John Schumacher would be moving to the west coast to train elite athletes with the Oregon Track Club. Jager now lives in Portland, Ore., and is currently taking courses at Portland State University. Jager set a new mile personal best at the 2009 Nike Prefontaine Classic when he crossed the finish line in 3:54.35, which bettered his previous career best by almost nine seconds. A soccer player from the time he was four years old, Jager decided to try cross country in junior high school, where he won a combined four state championships between track and cross country as a prep star in Illinois.
