“Oregon track & field rundown: NCAA women’s title is within reach for the Ducks; the men will wait for the outdoor season” – The Oregonian

Jordan Wolfe was a standout runner at Mountain View high school. Recently he took 10th overall and first for his age group at the Portland Marathon. His time of 2:42 was the second fastest in his age group of all time @ the Portland Marathon. Wolfe was kind enough to answer a few questions for Central Oregon Athlete:

Central Oregon Athlete – What are you doing these days as far as racing?
Jordan Wolfe – My racing is informally just training with Detachment 910 through Air Force ROTC. We have physical fitness testing and there is a 1.5 mile run that has inspired some friendly competitiveness. It was actually after training with more of a military focus that I got back into racing after taking my senior high school track season off, and deciding not to run for my college team. In high school I was always injured or sick and during that year off I built some new strength. With that new strength I ended up surprised myself while doing some spur-of-the-moment repeats. After those, I decided to start building a base again and see what I could do in a marathon.

COA – Where are you located these days?
JW – Seattle, WA in the ever eventful U-district

COA – Tell me about running the Portland Marathon, were you surprised by your time?
JW – Portland was a wonderful no pressure experience. I didn’t know what to expect and neither did anyone else which allowed me to go out and play. I went out with a goal of breaking 2:40 but telling myself that I would be happy to just qualify for Boston with a 3:10. I ended up settling into a pack with some great guys running about my goal pace and got into a sub-six rhythm. It felt great, the atmosphere was awesome, and the other racers were very encouraging. I was just so stoked to be racing again. I was also terrified of hitting the infamous “wall” the whole time, but my fitness carried me well, and when I did tighten up at mile 21 I was still riding on high spirits. I can’t wait to get some more miles on my legs and give it another go! The marathon is such a great distance!

COA – What is next on your racing schedule?
JW – I didn’t get my Boston registration in on time so I am thinking that Eugene will end up as my spring marathon. This winter I will be hopping into the “Winter Grand Prix” put on by Club Northwest which is a local six race series. I realize that I am just a baby in this sport so I am hoping to use each race experience to learn while keeping my speed up, my mind sharp, and my heart hungry.

COA – What was the highlight of your XC/track days back @ Mountain View?
JW – My senior season my wonderful sister Jessica joined me on the team. It was so much fun to share the connection that comes from working out together. We hurt together, won and lost together, and ultimately, though disappointed with my racing, I won a season of memories with her and she ended up taking 6th in state that year (which I reveled in greatly.)

COA – Any goals you can share with us when it comes to competing?
JW – I want to learn what it means to live the lifestyle of competitive running. If I can get a good balance down between training physically, spiritually, and mentally, I think I have the ability to run for the Air Force Marathon Team. If I was to make that team upon graduation in June 2013 I would be ecstatic. It will be a three year process of patience and faithfulness as I finish this season of schooling but if I make that team… I feel like I could do anything.

COA – What other sports do you enjoy?
JW – I love soccer, cycling, ultimate frisbee, and endurance sports in general.

COA – What do you like to do when you aren’t training/racing?
JW – I love music! singing it, writing it, playing it, listening to it, performing… I love it all. I love adventuring, whether it be around the neighborhood, on a mountain, in a book, or with food–new experiences are thrilling!

COA – What is your favorite workout in Central Oregon?
JW – Butte repeats. There is just something about the grind of busting out a workout in the center of central Oregon that gets me pumped. I can look down and see my high school track, I look out and see the mountains that stare back as if challenging me to climb harder… and a bunch of central Oregonians cheer you on. The atmosphere is powerful.

COA – Anything else to add?
JW – Growth is worth the growing pains.

Hayati Wolfenden’s Mountain View cross country team has finished third at districts in for first two years and she hasn’t qualified for state as an individual. It would seem that is going to change this year. Wolfenden, a junior, started the year with an impressive showing at the Pre-District meet in Ashland where she was the 5th fastest runner in the league and her Cougars came in second behind Summit. Hayati was kind enough to answer a few questions for Central Oregon Athlete:

Central Oregon Athlete – How long have you been running competitively?
Hayati Wolfenden – Since 7th grade when I joined cross country at Sky View.

COA – What got you into running?
HW – I was the new kid at school and it was a way to meet new people. Once I got into it, I just realized it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Running, especially running fast, is really, really fun.

COA – What sports do you play other than running XC?
HW – I nordic ski in the winter, and have done both tennis and track in the spring. I also like biking and white-water rafting a lot.

COA – What are your goals for the XC season?
HW – This XC season I’d like to break into the 19′s. I also want to stay as close to Mikhaila Thornton and Jessica Wolfe as possible. The Mtn. View girls’ team is really working on running as a pack this year.

COA – What’s the best part of running XC?
HW – The people for sure. To be on the XC team is to be part of a family.

COA – Do you have a favorite race course?
HW – I love the Trask Challenge. It’s a super muddy, hilly, wet, and slippery course– very awesome.

COA – What do you like to do when you aren’t running?
HW – I like to read and draw a lot. Just recently I’ve actually started knitting, which has become a small obsession.

COA – What is your favorite workout in Central Oregon?
HW – I love going up towards the 7th Mountain and running on the river trail back there. It’s a really gorgeous trail, with good shade and wonderful scenery. It’s really easy to do very long runs out there, because time can cease to exist.
