Running through adversity

Jason Williams (rt) winning a 100 meter race

It was interesting to read about Jason Williams, a standout sprinter from Washburn High School, who is competing at a high level, despite the tragic losses of his mother and grandmother in the past few years (Washburn star overcomes hurdles to star in track).

I was pleased to see Jason compete yesterday at the Minnesota State High School Section 6 track meet. He is pictured, at left, winning his heat of the 100 meter dash (lf) and the 200 meter run (below).
