(A.J. Haffa spoke with MileSplit following his victory at the War on the Shore in August).
A.J. Haffa entered new territory as a cross country runner at this past weekend's U Wanna Come Back Invitational, which was hosted by Madison.
Haffa, who previous to this meet ran in the 16 minute range on several occasions this season, finally dipped under that number. The senior from Riverside-Painesville went 15:56.49 for a resounding win in Saturday's varsity race. In addition to his new pr, Haffa jumps up to number twenty-two in the state's senior class rankings. This was his third top 3 finish of the year.
