Jarvis Dives Into Quarantine

“The only thing disappointing [about school ending due to COVID-19] is our track season being canceled,” laments Ethan Jarvis, a freshman at Worthington Christian High School. WCHS is known for its rigorous academics and competitive sports.  Becoming an athlete at WCS means meeting academic challenges as well as honing your sports skills.  He is a WC lifer, who has participated in sports from a young age.            Jarvis started running track his eighth-grade year. He ran 100 and 200 m hurdles. After a year of running short distance events, Jarvis decided to try long-distance track for Coach Mousa. You can catch him on the track sporting number 432. Now he runs the 400m, 800m, and 1600m events. His favorite event is the 800m. Ethan advises any students considering track to “try new things or events in track because you may be good at them and end up liking them.”            

Jarvis is also a successful swimmer. He has participated in two swim seasons. Although he was not on WC’s swim team this year, he plans on joining next year. His best stroke is the breaststroke and his least favorite stroke is the butterfly. He loves the community that swim provides.            

Sports have played a huge roll in Jarvis’s life. Sports have “helped me be more physically fit and allow me to build relationships with people.”   Building community within WCHS has benefited Ethan in many ways.  “Working with my coaches and friends to get better has made high school fun,” explains Jarvis when describing what he likes about WCS sports and school.  Worthington Christian School is definitely a place where athletes like Jarvis can build bridges to brighter futures. 

            In conclusion, Ethan Jarvis is an athletically and academically gifted student at Worthington Christian. Jarvis’ faith is operative in both his classwork and his talent on the track. Jarvis plans on participating in track and swim during his sophomore, junior, and senior year. In the future, Jarvis plans to attend college but does not know what he wants to study. Although his high school career is just beginning, Worthington Christian cannot wait to see what Ethan Jarvis accomplishes.
