This year the fun trophy was given to a likeable girl who played softball, and volleyball and runs the hurdles in track. Her name is Jennifer James, a senior at Roy High School. Jennifer was born in Ogden, but moved to Roy with her parents and baby sister Roxanne, when she was four years old. There is also a younger brother, Jeff, who is in the sixth grade. Her parents are Judith and Tom James of 2258 West, 5600 South in Roy. Jennifer began competing in sports when she was a fourth grader, and came up through the ranks of Roy Recreation. She was good enough in softball to be invited into the Ogden City Softball League, but then broke her ankle, just as she was about to enroll at Roy High School as a sophomore. She lettered in softball, volleyball and in track as a junior, and now has become one of the star attractions as a senior. Last year she broke the Roy High School record in the 100 and 300 meter intermediate hurdles, and won the region title in both events. But it was another story at the state track meet. A young lady, nemed Kelly Parks, of West High School beat her by a step or two, and was defeated in both races by a step or two. Jennifer is determined to win the 4A title in the 300 meter hurdles, and hopefully in the 100 meter, but she will not encounter Miss Parks again, and that hurts. Miss James, did want so bad to beat her. West High School, last year, dropped back to the 3A ranks, and the races will be run separately. Jennifer James is a girl of many talents. She plays the violin, and has played in the Weber County District Symphony Orchestra, and in the Roy High School Orchestra. She never took piano lessons, but delights in playing popular music - mostly by ear. Jennifer is presently a 4.0 student at Roy High School, and for three years has maintained over 3.6 academically. She belongs to the National Honors Society at Roy, and has been offered an scholarship at Utah State Honors-At-Entran- University. She has been recruited by both Utah State and Weber State for her talents in athletics, but is determined to accept the academic scholarship. But I want to test myself in college athletics, she said modestly. Jennifer is not running to her full capacity this season. Last year she established a 15.3 second record in the 100 meter hurdles, and 45.1 in the 300 meter, but her best times this year have been 15.3 in the 100 and 45.26 in the 300 meter. She may have thrown herself this season, when she took a week out of track to travel with the National Honor Society on a trip to Southern Utah, but on the other hand, last year she peaked out too soon. She ran her best times at the Region One Track Meet, but couldnt get up again for the state finals. That week off in April may be her ticket to the Utah State championship next week. Jennifer has her sights high in the field of academics. She wants to be a College Professor, and plans to do it in English and or History, with a minor in Music. With her drive and determination, as exhibited in athletics, her friends believe she will make her goal. They have seen her operate in the hurdles, and she has been fan- tastic. I love Roy, said Jennifer James. It is small enough to be kind of personal, yet not too big to get lost in. Good Luck at Utah State, Jennifer James. Were glad you are close to Roy, and well be pulling for you to carry on your winning traditions as an Aggie., e, ROY'S JENNIFER JAMES, always reaching new heights. |
