The 5-foot-10, 140-pound senior won the Class 5A state meet this past season with a time of 15:29.15, breaking the tape 25.7 seconds ahead of his next-closest competitor and leading the Chargers to a first-place finish as a team. Lesansee placed sixth at the Nike Cross Nationals Southwest Regional championships and finished 45th at the NXN Final. He set a course record at the Albuquerque Academy Invitational in 15:10.09, the fastest prep 5K time of the year in New Mexico.
Lesansee has maintained an A-minus average in the classroom. He remains undecided upon a collegiate destination.
Lesansee serves as a coordinator with Native Health Initiative, a community-outreach group. Through NHI, he ran an event called Running is Medicine which consisted of a 5K fun run and a health career fair for children. "Jordan was very good this year, exceptionally good," said Rob Hipwood, head coach of Los Alamos High. "Jordan dominated the state meet, showing patience early and then just hammering the field in the second half of the race."
