Record Setter
Hailing from Hathaway, Louisiana Jarrett LeBlanc has a habit of breaking records. While in college at McNeese State University, he went from a "Walk on" status to the first McNeese cowboy to win the 5k/10k double since 1991. One month prior to the double conference champion year, he also broke a 20+ year record at 10,000m. He didn't finish there. After college, in May 2015, he became the first person to break a 4:00 mile, running 3:59.95, on Louisiana soil.
Jarrett is a two-time Olympic Marathon trials qualifier, multiple course record holder, and several top 15 USA championship finisher. Today, he works full-time at Ochsner Lafayette General as a cardiac sonographer, remains competitive at the USA championship level and owns and operate his own Personal Running Coaching company, Levee Breakers.
