The 6-foot-2, 190-pound senior jumper earned All-American honors in the triple jump at Nike Outdoor Nationals this past season and his leap of 49 feet, 2.25 inches ranked No. 19 nationally among prep boys competitors this spring. Walker won the long jump and the triple jump at the Class 4A state meet, setting a state record in the latter (50-8.75; no wind instruments) and cracking the state’s Top 5 all-time in the long jump with his leap of 24-1.25.
Walker has maintained a 3.68 weighted GPA in the classroom. He has signed a written letter of athletic aid to compete at Brigham Young University following a two-year LDS mission trip that begins this summer.
An All-State football player for Kelly Walsh last fall, Walker has served on the Wyoming High School Athletic Association Student Advisory Council. He has also volunteered locally at a homeless shelter and food bank and for several eldercare facilities. He has also donated his time to multiple community service initiatives as a leader of his church youth group.
