Jamyson says that track the 200 meter run is “a pretty challenging race and there’s always good competition to go against.”
With every sport you will have a memorable moment. For Jamyson, her favorite memory from track is after a practice. Jaydyn Shuke and her were walking outside to go to the car, and it started pouring down rain. Jamyson recalled, “We looked like we just got a shower and we were soaked.”
Jamyson plans to participate in track all the way to senior year. She also plans to participate in college as well, saying it would be “a really awesome experience.”
