Jaylen is the consummate team player! The last year and a half has been a rough one as he has grown a lot. His performance on the track has suffered as a result, but he has continued to work through it and last year began to come out of his shell. He came on late in the season to solidify our Midget Boys 4x400m relay as our reliable lead-off leg. Also a football junkie, Jaylen has been a star Quarterback for Gresham Park for many years.

 

"One thing about Jaylen is that I know I can count on him. He's very unselfish and performs for his team when they need him. Without his commitment to his team, we never would have qualified for Nationals in that relay. I can always depend on him to lead us off and put us in a great position. However, I believe this year he'll start to progress individually. I can't wait", says Coach Charles.
