- See Less -Jacques Sallberg became the 14th member of Team Running USA shortly after he took 4th in the USA 3000m Steeplechase and cut his time by 6 seconds for a new PR of 8:28.18 at the 2006 USATF Championships. Jacques has had a determined manner when it comes to besting his own showing in many track events from his days at John Muir High School in Pasadena California ('92) to Glendale CC ('94) and California State University in Los Angeles ( B.S.Kinesiology '98). Jacques' determined manner drew particular notice two other times in 2006 when he set new personal records: he took 1st in the Mt SAC Mile with a PR of 4:01.50 and he took 3rd in the Mt. SAC 5000 m with a PR of 13: 52.62.
In his career to date, Sallberg has taken 1st in a variety of other events: 2006 State Street Mile, 2005 LAPD 10k, 2005 SCA USATF Cross Country 8k, 2001 Dana Point 5k (course record), 2001 Mt SAC California Cup Cross Country, 2000 Ben Brown Invitational 1500m, 1999 Bastille Days 8k and 1996 Stanford Cross Country Individual 8k. It will be hard to discount Jacques Sallberg's diverse training background since that along with his determined manner, is what has contributed to his becoming an athlete of diverse accomplishments and an athlete to be followed closely.
