Peak Performance

1st - 288 ft, 10.5 in

Class 5A State Title - Javelin
“Jack did not pick up a javelin for the first time until this past February and three months later, he shattered the existing state record. In the much-too-short time I’ve had the pleasure to work with Jack, I can say that he is, hands-down, the best athlete I’ve ever coached. More important than his athletic ability, Jack is a young man of tremendous character. He strives to be the best in any endeavor whether it be the classroom, at practice, or during competitions.”
