    Jackson teams have had an amazing fall

    What a great time to be an athlete — and a fan — at Jackson High School in Mill Creek.

    This fall, Jackson teams have been either very good or flat-out dominant in every sport. There's the undefeated, fourth-ranked football team, the unbeaten girls soccer team, the much-improved state-bound volleyball team ... and that's just part of the story.

    “Any time you have this amount of success, obviously it's kind of infectious around the whole school in terms of the level of school spirit,” said Joel Vincent, head coach of the 10-0 Timberwolves football team.

    “It's a little overwhelming right now. We've got so much going on,” third-year Jackson athletic director Larry Fritts said.

    “We've got a great set of fans, a great set of kids and obviously a great coaching staff,” Fritts added.

    A coach and teacher at Jackson since it opened in fall 1994, Vincent said the last few years of athletic excellence at the school have been remarkable. But this fall the excitement has reached new heights.

    About 2,000 students attended a school pep assembly on Oct. 23, the day of Jackson's homecoming football game against Mountlake Terrace. It was a celebration of the T-wolves' gridiron success, and also a chance to recognize all of Jackson's fall sports domination.

    “It was probably the most spirited and fun pep assembly that I've ever seen here,” Vincent said.

    Here is a closer look at Jackson's fall sports squads, many of which are gearing up for state-tournament competition this week.

The team was ranked No. 1 in America going into the 4A state meet; Jackson finished second behind No. 9 nationally ranked Ferris of Spokane.

    What's next: Will run at the Nike Cross Nationals Northwest Regional on Saturday in Boise and will send three runners (Sean Roe, Mitchell Briggs and Connor Frederickson) to the 2009 BorderClash on Nov. 22 in Beaverton, Ore.

    Girls cross country

    Notable achievements: Finished third in the team standings at the Wesco South championships and fifth at the 4A District 1 meet, 14 points behind third-place Oak Harbor (top three teams advanced to state).

    Boys tennis

    Head coach: David Hutt

    Team win-loss record: 16-0

    Notable achievements: Unbeaten in division dual meets (9-0) en route to Wesco South title. It was coach Hutt's first perfect season in his 12 years with the T-wolves, who also won the District 1 team title. Mitch Williamson won South and District 1 singles championships; Robin Choi and David Kim placed third in the district doubles tournament.

    What's next: Williamson, Choi and Kim will compete in the state championships in May.
