“You should never go into a race nervous. The training you’ve done should give you the confidence you need to succeed”
– Bob Kennedy
What is something that very few, if any, people know about you: I was actually born in Atlanta
Jeff is a junior from Bedford, NH. He would love to answer e-mail
questions from Emory recruits and fans.
