From the starting blocks at Lassiter, Senior Ethan Jones is making his mark. Each week, with the support of BSN Sports, Cobb Athletics celebrates student-athletes who inspire and excel in their sports, academics, and communities. This week's Athlete of the Week (AOW) honor goes to Ethan Jones from Lassiter High School for his achievements in the classroom and at the pool. 

Ethan is a senior captain for Trojan Swim and Dive and did an incredible job recently in an away meet at the West Gwinnett Aquatic Center, where Lassiter swam against two larger Class 6A teams - North Gwinnett and West Forsyth. He was part of two winning relays, the 200 Medley and 400 Freestyle, and finished in first place in the 50 and 100 Freestyle.

Ethan is dedicated to his sport and swims year-round for the Stingrays Swimming Club team. He is also a high performer in the classroom and well-liked by his teammates, classmates, and teachers. He brings excitement to the team by leading team cheers and maintaining a high positive energy level.

"Ethan shows great leadership in and out of the water. He is always looking for ways to pump up his teammates," said Lassiter Head Coach Brittany Hughes. "He is extremely dedicated to the sport and improving his times. He will be an integral part of our team this season as the boys look forward to a strong showing in our County and State meets," concluded Coach Hughes about her team's Athlete of the Week.

Congrats to Ethan!
