Student Success Statement

Jenna Huff wins the extreme “Sportsmanship” award from the U.S. Olympic Committee.

In this story Jenna Huff is a high school student that runs in her cross country team and she was able to run for her team in the race to the state champion. As Jenna was running she said that she always kept an eye out for her opponent Deb. Jenna was always just a little behind Deb, there was on three miles and when it was the last mile Jenna was thinking of just sprinting the last mile so she could lead her team to the state nationals. When Jenna was running she was looking at her opponent deb and saw her fall in front of her in the last 100 yards and when she did Jenna was right there to help her get up from her fall. When she did Jenna walked Deb to the finish line and let her finish first because Jenna said that Deb was always going to be in front of her even without the hip fall.

Reflection: The fact that Jenna gave up her spot to win is one of the very best acts of random kindness that I have ever heard of. what Jenna did there was a really good act of "Good Sportsmanship". Jenna knew that helping Deb finish was good sportsmanship and something very loyal to her. Even if Deb didn't win by herself she can still be a winner of Good Sportsmanship. Jenna’s act of helping deb was very inspiring and outstanding. Everyone should have good sportsmanship and be as kind as Jenna was when she helped Deb.
