Jenks Trojan Swimming

For the past 11 years, Reece has dedicated himself to the sport of swimming. He joined the Jenks High School Swim Team because he knew it was the best swim team in the state, and throughout his high school career, he helped continue that championship tradition as the boys team captain.

One of Reece’s favorite high school swimming memories was earning his final high school state championship victory and achieving his Winter Junior’s cut.

What Reece says he’ll miss most is both the people who have already graduated and the teammates he is now leaving behind.

Next year, Reece will attend Missouri State University to continue his swimming career while pursuing a degree in information technology with a focus in cybersecurity.

Congratulations, Reece, on an incredible swimming career, outstanding leadership as team captain, and best of luck in this exciting next chapter!

For the past 11 years, Zeke has dedicated himself to swimming. Growing up on the club team, he always looked up to the older athletes on the Jenks High School Swim Team and knew one day he wanted to be one of them.

When asked about his favorite high school swimming memory, Zeke says it’s hard to choose just one. The small moments meant the most - the conversations after practice, the jokes shared in the few seconds at the wall between sets, the speeches before meets, and of course, winning three state titles. Every moment holds a special place in his memory.

What he’ll miss most is the time spent with his teammates after morning practice, grabbing breakfast, joking around, and making memories before heading to class. Those everyday moments became some of the funniest and most meaningful times of his high school experience.

Next year, Zeke plans to attend the University of Arkansas to study Business.

Congratulations, Zeke, on an incredible swimming career and best of luck in this next chapter!
