Meet Our Team

Jay Jackson has been part of the Fleet Feet Elmhurst family since May of 2009. In college, Jay was an All-American athlete in cross country and track. Jay loves to run just about anywhere and he has qualified for the Boston Marathon 3 times, but has never run it. He would love to see GU come out with a pizza gel flavor- with caffeine of course! This year, Jay hopes to spend more time with his wife and three kids, and become more involved in serving opportunities at his church. When asked what Jay was dying to tell our Fleet Feet Elmhurst customers, he answered "I tried barefoot running . . . ouch"!

Margaret Schmitt is the newest addition to Fleet Feet Elmhurst, she has been with us since January 2010. Her running career began in 6th grade when she joined the cross country team. She was hooked and she stuck with distance running through high school and has placed in several 5k and 10k races throughout the years. Currently Margaret is training to complete a half marathon. She loves to gor for early morning runs on the Prairie Path and she always brings water flavored with Banana Nuun. The Fleet Feet Elmhurst associate that gets the least hours of sleep per night? Margaret because she is a loving mom who has her hands full with twins- an adorable boy and girl born September 2009.
