Parker Schoen Season 2010

2010 (Outlook)
Parker Schoen (pronounced SH-ane) ran his personal bests at the 2010 state track meet in the mile and 3,200 meters. “When he was is healthy he is pretty good,” Nebraska Coach Jay Dirksen said, “He is going to have a chance to be in the top seven runners.”

High School (Lincoln Southwest)
Schoen joins the Huskers after winning the 2008 Nebraska Class A state cross country title while at Lincoln Southwest High School under Coach Ryan Salem. A four-year state cross country qualifier, Schoen placed 75th as a freshman, before moving up to 31st as a sophomore in 2007. He then took the state title as a junior with a time of 16:30.9 to lead the Silverhawks to a seventh-place finish. Schoen improved his time as a senior, running 16:26.7, but was unable to defend his title as he placed third.

Schoen qualified for the state track meet for the first time as a junior in 2009, where he competed in three events. He earned two medals with a third-place finish in the 3,200 meters and an eighth-place finish in the 1,600 meters, while also taking 10th in the 800 meters. Schoen repeated as a medalist in the 1,600 (4th) and 3,200 (2nd) meters as a senior, as he ran personal bests in each event with times of 4:28.64 and 9:30.37, respectively.
