Jamie Norton • 2014

Nickname: James
Groton, MA (Groton School)
International Relations and Peace and Crustice Studies

Jamie comes to Tufts by way of the Groton School in MA. Sadly a high school that did not provide him with the chance to run track. As a result, this former rower broke onto the track scene with a vengeance last winter. His 2:29/4:19 PR's earned him a spot on the DMR squad that qualified for Nationals with their 9:59. His lead off leg was a major part of that qualifying time.

Jamie looks to take his running to a new level this year as he brings much more comfort, base, and confidence to the track. With big goals, and talent to match, Jamie is definitely a person to watch this winter.

Interests: Rowing, Africa, climbing, football, the Ukraine, gymnastics, Miriam?
