1996: Piccolo Award Winner

1992-1996: 400 Meter Dash State Champion

Mr. Christopher Jones - Class of 1996 (Athletics)
Chris is a graduate of the class of 1996. He is a Piccolo Award winner and participated in Track and Basketball all four years of his high school career. Chris Jones led Lisle’s 4x400 meter relay team to a state title as a freshman. He earned 7 all state honors in track and field over four years and two state honors in cross-country. He was the first athlete in Illinois to win the state in the 400 meter dash all four years of his high school career. Coach Jakalski likes to note that, as a sophomore, Chris ran the 800-400 meter double and won both events. The double is rare in track because it requires the athlete to run two races with less than 19 minutes recovery.
