Jackson Sexton has been running track since 7th grade. He currently runs for Atlanta Lightspeed and the Grady Boy’s Track Team. He runs almost all track events under 400 meters, but the 400 meters and 200 meters are his favorite races. He is an impressive runner with his personal records coming in at 48.7 seconds in the 400 meter and 22.02 seconds in the 200 meter.

“Both my dad and my grandfather ran, so I was inspired to start running because of them,” Sexton said. “After high school, I would like to run in college, and then hopefully have the chance to run on the professional scene.”
