Running, jumping, and throwing: track has it all. Student-athlete James Osborne has been competing in track along with football and basketball. He’s been going for the high jump record since freshmen year and almost got it his junior year. “Last year I was short a couple of inches but this year I’m looking to put my name on that board,” James said.

Lots of hard work goes into preparing for this. “I do strength and conditioning in the morning in the summers and then do my own lifts later in the day,” James said.

But he’s done more than just that. “I also did a vertical program at home my freshman and sophomore year with different polymerics,” he said. James has been making major progress towards this goal and we hope to see him break the record this year.
