We wish Jake the best of luck in his pursuit to become an Olympian!!!!!!  Jake is still young (19 years of age) compared to many of his competitors, but he never backs down from a challenge!  He has always represented his school, team, and community well!  We hope you will watch the trials and root for our hometown swimmer!!!!!
