Hello, My name is Jacob Jansen, and I am a multisport athlete. I am one to set very high goals and would do anything to reach them. I have a passion for athletics and academics that I know separates my from the rest. My main sport is triathlon and a skill that I exemplifying being is a responsible leader. Although triathlon is an individual sport, there are many young and growing triathletes that look for my guidance and help. Throughout this past Triathlon season I have done very well. I have won every triathlon that I have competed in. The Provincial Championships are in two weeks and I am very excited to race against the best in the province.
This past athletic high school year has been quite acceptable. I was part of the cross country, swimming and track team throughout the year. I quickly became one of my school's biggest athletes. I was fortunate enough to qualify for OFSAA (Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations) three times within each of my sports. I also paced top ten in each OFSAA by placing 5th at the 2022 Provincial Cross Country Championships, placing 3rd (100m free) and 6th (50m free) at the 2023 Provincial Swimming Championships and placing 9th (3000m) at the 2023 Provincial Track and Field Championships.
I realize that academics are also very important. This past year of high school I achieved an average of 93%. This was a very hard task to accomplish, but I am glad that I took the time to to the best that I could.
Eight years ago I created a toy drive. Throughout the years the organization has grown tremendously. The first year that I started to raise toys, books and games, I ended up helping 100 kids. This past year we have raised over 8000 items for just over 1350 kids in need. I am proud of this unique accomplishment and I hope it has the chance to grow even bigger throughout these next couple of years.
