Jumping over obstacles at high speed isn’t most people’s idea of fun.

Jack isn’t most people.

As the reigning state champion in the 300 meter hurdle, Jack is fast and agile. He recently broke the 37-year old school record for the hurdles.

He also has grit. At his senior photo shoot, he had a sprained ankle from a track injury. I didn’t know this until his mom mentioned it later. He never complained.

When he’s not at the track, Jack enjoys working, golfing with friends, or traveling with his family.

Faith is a cornerstone of Jack’s life. He wears a cross around his neck even during races. Education is also important to him and he plans to study business at the University of Thomas where he will be on the track team.

As Jack approaches the starting block of his future, I believe he will soar.
