Hi I‘m Jax Leon, I go to C.K. McClatchy High School in Sacramento, California. I’ve been running Cross Country and Track since 7th grade and ever since that first practice I’ve been in love with the sport. Recently at McClatchy I have been awarded the JV MVP award which exhibits both my speed during races and my connection with my teammates on and off the tracks. It is my dream to attend college in order to pursue a career in organic sciences while simultaneously running for said college. I am currently in a specialty program called HISP (Humanities and International Studies Program) which applies copious amounts of academic rigor which challenges me and my peers. I am also currently taking AP Chemistry as a sophomore and plan to take AP Biology my junior year. People often say when I put my mind to something; I excel, and in this case I want nothing more for myself than success so I can help others in the future.
