Meet Student-Athlete Jack Nebbia
Tom Worgo, What'sUp Media
AACS senior has his sights set on running for a Division I program

Running records at Annapolis Area Christian School are etched in Jack Nebbia’s brain. Nebbia, a four-year member of the school’s cross-country team, thinks about them all the time. He’s been sharply focused on breaking a few since he saw the numbers on the wall of the school’s gym back in the seventh grade. 

Hunter Steinau set one of those records as a senior in 2020—the 3200 meter run. With the way Nebbia improves on his times running year to year, he has a legitimate chance to break it. Nebbia shaved time off his 3200m run from his freshman year to his sophomore year. Things got even better in 2024. He increased his improvement and is second all-time to Steinau. Surpassing the record is even more important than winning championships, including the MIAA title he captured in November of 2024. 

“That race helped me see what I am capable of,” Nebbia explains. “It made the record seem a lot closer.” Read more at What'sUp Central Maryland...

Susan Hall

AACS Teacher and Coach, Mrs. Madelyn Smith, was named IAAM 2025 Track and Field Coach of the Year. 

Congratulations go to Coach Madelyn Smith, who has run the AACS Track & Field program for seven years, competing for the last six years in the MIAA and IAAM conferences. The team has consistently performed at a high level, and athletes take pride in representing the school with excellence. Two years ago, boys’ and girls’ teams broke conference records in the 4x100-meter relay—a testament to the dedication and talent within our program.

Her journey in Track & Field began in Michigan, where she was named to all-city and all-state teams. Competing at the Junior Olympics in the high jump, the 100m, and the 200m,  she discovered the value of perseverance and discipline.

In addition to coaching, she teaches Foundations of Technology and several advanced Engineering classes at AACS. She also leads the Robotics program.
