“What makes Jennifer stand out from her peers is her character. She is a positive influence on everyone she meets. She has a tremendous desire to excel in both athletics and academics. Her work ethic is unstoppable and she will do whatever it takes to be successful. Jennifer is as good a person off the track and she is an athlete on the track. She exemplifies the term student-athlete.”
-Tennessee High Head Track & Field Coach Randy Irvin
“Although many characteristics she possesses are geared toward athletic competition and study, they are all minimized when you get to see how caring and compassionate she is toward other people. I have had the pleasure of having Jennifer as a peer tutor for two different special education classes I teach. Jennifer has done a phenomenal job in this role. She has exhibited great compassion towards students with special needs. It is so easy to see her caring heart working around the students she has tutored in my classes. She has been someone who motivates, empathizes with others and teaches. My students love her and want to be like her. They call her their friend and that is truly what she is to them. She makes everybody around her better, both athletically and morally. Once you get to know Jennifer, she is the kind of person you want to root for as a champion on the field and in life, feeling that she best represents who we should all strive to be.”

“Nathan Terrill’s work ethic and determination are unmatched by any other student/athlete in my tenure as a teacher, coach and now administrator. Nathan has simply outworked his peers athletically and academically. Nathan Terrill is a real life example of an individual in the pursuit of becoming as good as he can be in his life endeavors. He has the entire package: Godliness, athletic ability, attitude, intelligence, humility, concern and respect for others, unselfishness and a burning desire to be the best with a connection to reality that allows him to handle it when he is not the best. We all hear talk about the ‘real deal’ and I believe that Nathan Terrill is ‘The Real Deal’.
-Tennessee High head basketball coach Roby Witcher
