He was varsity since his freshman year and compered in rhe store meer all four years ar JHS He was vored Most Valuable Runner his junky-year He broke many school records, induding rhe 800 merer, 400 relay, and 1600 relay. Our of all three sporrs, Tom's favorire was foorboll, although he enjoyed playing boskerboll rhe most. Track really wasn't one of his favorire, although he did like rhe individual competition, unlike in foorboll and basketball where you have rhe ream ro supporr you. Tom was rhe most nervous for football games, because of all rhe pressure placed upon rhe quarterback. Also, he felr rhe Individual pressure in rrack was unbelievable.
