@ConnorStrauss22 @MSHeartland_ @IlliniTrackXC I can’t wait to see him be able to jump in college; full weight program, just work jump technique, improve speed and his 100% all in effort!! Let’s go U of I.. he’s ready! LZHS will miss his leadership, work ethic and his competitive composure..

Proud to finish my career with Lake Zurich as an All State triple jumper, placing 5th. I am thankful to my coaches, teammates, and family for always supporting me along the way. Although one chapter is closing, I know I am not done yet. @ocoordinator @MSHeartland_ @IlliniTrackXC
