Jamie Norton - XC and Mid-Distance / Distance

Coach Norton enters 2015 in his 2nd year with the Tufts coaching staff, 6th year as a Jumbo. A 2014 graduate of Tufts, Jamie found his niche at in the mile/1500, despite having never run track before coming to Tufts (opting to row in the spring in high school instead). He reset the school record in the 1500m (3:49.53) and mile (4:06.38). Jamie, a 2x All American in the DMR and 1500, doubled back from his NESCAC victory in the 1500m to finish 3rd in the 5k and help seal Tufts successful defense of their NESCAC title. Now as coach, Jamie provides and extra layer of motivation, experience, and accountability to the Tufts distance staff. He also works for local running companies Janji and Marathon Sports in his time away from the Tufts team.
