Jill Humecke joined the Forester cross country and track coaching staffs in 2022.
The Lake Forest women's cross country team placed sixth at the 2022 Midwest Conference Championship Meet while members of a shorthanded men's team competed as individuals at the event. Each team had three different individuals finish as its top runner at at least one meet during the season.
Humecke spent the last previous years as a graduate assistant coach at Aurora University, where she helped lead the men's and women's track and field teams to runner-up finishes at the 2021 Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference Outdoor Championships. The Spartans also finished in the top five in the league in cross country in 2021 and in both indoor and outdoor track and field in 2022.
A graduate of Augustana College, Humecke finished out her cross country career with a ninth-place finish at the 2019 College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin Championship Meet before placing 24th to earn all-region honors at the NCAA Division III Midwest Regional. In track she qualified for the 2020 NCAA Division III Championship Meet in the mile and still owns the program's fourth-fastest time in that event.
In addition to coaching, Humecke is also a retail sales associate at Dick Pond Athletics in Carol Stream, Illinois.
