Ryan Jacquez is an exceptional young Titan at Grand Terrace High School with a remarkable 4.67 GPA while maintaining a balance between academics, sports, and extracurricular activities. His dedication to both his studies and his passion for running demonstrates his strong work ethic and commitment to excellence.

Ryan Jacquez demonstrates his exceptional time management skills, dedication to his studies, and intellectual curiosity. It's evident that he approaches his education with the same level of commitment and excellence as he does his athletic endeavors.

Ryan Jacquez's athletic achievements are truly impressive! Winning the Skyline League Champion titles in both the 1600 and 3200 meters showcases his talent and dedication to track and field. Additionally, his consistent presence on the Cross Country All League Team since freshman year highlights his endurance and skill in long-distance running.

Participating in the CIF Prelims as a freshman is a notable accomplishment, indicating his ability to compete at a high level from an early age. His success in the trail half marathon, finishing 7th place overall and first in the under 19 division, demonstrates his versatility as a runner across different terrains and distances.

It’s also commendable that Ryan maintains a strong focus on academics alongside his athletic pursuits. Achieving Junior Honor Guard status and consistently earning a place on the Principal's Honor Roll speaks to his academic excellence and work ethic. Scoring a 5 on the AP World History exam further underscores his intellectual abilities and commitment to his studies.

It's extraordinary how he manages to excel in multiple areas of his life while still finding time for hobbies and interests like playing the saxophone and attending concerts with friends.

His willingness to serve a mission for his church after high school shows his values and priorities extend beyond personal success to serving others.

Ryan's aspiration to pursue a degree in chemical engineering and continue running at the collegiate level reflects his ambition and drive to achieve his goals. His leadership qualities and desire to inspire and support his teammates demonstrate his strong sense of community and teamwork.

The quote he shared, "Things are never lost. They are just waiting to be found again" is a powerful reminder of resilience and the potential for growth and discovery even in challenging times.

With such a strong academic foundation, talent, & work ethic, I have no doubt Ryan is poised for success in whatever path he chooses to pursue in the future. Wishing him all the best on his journey ahead!
