“Sydney is a premier javelin thrower, but she’s also an all-around athlete who would excel in anything that she set her mind to. She’s served as an incredible teammate and a leader on every team she’s been involved with. One of the highlights of my coaching career is the fact that I’ve had the honor of working with her.”

Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-3 senior launched the javelin 177 feet, 11 inches this past season, a personal-best effort that ranked as the nation’s No. 1 performance among 2021 prep competitors and No. 6 in U.S. girls prep history. The throw qualified her to compete at the U.S. Olympic Trials. Juszczyk won the javelin at the Class 4 state meet with a distance of 151-9.75, leading the Titans to the state championship as a team in the waning days of her high school’s existence, as the 62-year-old facility was permanently closed by the St. Louis Archdiocese at the end of the academic year.

Academic Achievement

Juszczyk has maintained a 3.61 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a National Letter of Intent to compete in track and field on scholarship at Texas Christian University this fall.

Exemplary Character

Juszczyk set up her own non-profit community service group, Syd’s Community Projects, and has also donated her time by hosting a clinic for younger javelin throwers.
