Coaches Comments: A co-captain for this year’s team, Jordan is poised to cap off an outstanding career for the Blue Bombers. He returns for his senior season as one of the most accomplished track and field athletes in the district and is aiming for a fourth trip to Shippensburg before embarking on a new challenge to play football for Villanova University.
