“Sebastian’s achievements are even more impressive given that Thetford does not have a track (surface). He does sprint workouts on a soccer field and practices the long and triple jump on an uneven roll-out runway on a sloping field. And he’s never complained.”

Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-11, 169-pound junior jumper talent won the triple jump at the New England Championships this past season, earning All-New England honors in the process. Perdrizet set a state record at New Englands with his winning leap of 47 feet, 9.5 inches, which ranked No. 89 nationally among prep boys competitors in 2026. He broke his own state record of 47-7 set a week earlier at the Division 3 state meet, where he also took gold in the 100- and 200-meter dashes as well as the long jump, leading the Panthers to a second-place finish as a team. 

Academic Achievement

Perdrizet has maintained a 3.18 GPA in the classroom. He will begin his senior year of high school this fall.

Exemplary Character

Perdrizet has volunteered locally at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, delivering meals to patients.
