LISBON Mt. Abram’s Jeff Warnock first got into running by practicing on his own, his primary objective to be better than his friends during middle school recess football games.
Little did the now-sophomore know that his scrimmage football practice (there was no organized football team in middle school for Warnock to play on) would turn into a passion for running. On Tuesday, Warnock ran to wins in the 4×800-meter relay (10:34.77) and the 800-meter run (2:26.85) and tallied runner-up finishes in the 1,600-meter run and the 4×400-meter relay.
