By Jeff Steers JTV Sports (May 28, 2022 8:00 AM) With only two track and field meets remaining, Grass Lake High School senior Jack Easterday looks forward to running his fastest races of the season. He will also be ending his athletic career with the Warriors. While Easterday could run track and field at the collegiate level, he is choosing to concentrate on studying and going to classes at the University of Michigan. The sport has been good to the GLHS student-athlete. Easterday earned three medals last year by finishing in the top eight in 110-meter hurdles, 300-meter hurdles, and as a member of the 800-meter relay team. Grass Lake scored more than twice as many points as the second-place team in winning the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 3 state team title in track and field. “It was a crazy experience last year … happy to be part of that team,” Easterday said. “We are ready to bring the same energy to the state meet this year.” Easterday is in the top eight in three of the four events entered at the Division 3 state meet this year. He has the fourth-best time in the 110-meter hurdles (15.78…
