Ethan Juergens is the November Boys Cross Country Athlete of the Month. Juergens is the son of Matt and Andrea Juergens.

Juergens is a sophomore and has been running cross country for three years.

Juergens described cross country as a “really social sport” because he is always running with a friend, having fun and getting to know new people.

The fact that he has been chosen as Athlete of the Month makes him feel good about himself because he feels like oftentimes cross country doesn’t get enough attention, as compared to other sports going on at the same time.

He believes that he was chosen as Athlete of the Month because he motivates the team. While I was interviewing him, he turned to Grace McCartney, another cross country athlete, and double-checked with her – “Grace, am I motivating?” Grace replied with a hearty “Very.” Juergens’ goal is to make everyone feel good about how they’re running.

In recognition of his achievement, Blue Oak CPA has donated $100 to the ADM Scholarship Foundation.
