Answer 1

The answer is Juan is sad about the break-up and it's causing his grades and his running to suffer.

After the breakup of romantic relationships, people often experience intense sadness or even depression which distracts them from other areas and responsibilities in their life, and causes their enthusiasm and performance to reduce. Since Juan's grades and track meets were both negatively affected following his breakup, it is likely its because Juan was sad about the breakup.
