Another Minnesota native joins the Gophers' distance crew in the form of Jakob Mccleary. Out of Perham High School McCleary brings in personal bests of 1:55 in the 800m while also a 4:16 in the 1600m. He was the state champion in the 800m and as a cross country runner, proving he can provide talent in more ways than one for the Golden Gophers.
