It may have been a long trip for Jayden Russ, but after traveling from Australia to Los Angeles to Chicago to Osceola in anything from a plane to a train, he has finally found his home in Ames, Iowa. Originally of Brisbane, Australia, Jayden Russ is one of the newest Cyclones to step foot on campus. After spending time at the Queensland Academy of Sport in Australia and competing in the World Junior Championships in 2004, Jayden comes to the Cyclones with a personal best in the Steeplechase of 8:54.
