I'm Pat O'keefe with this week's scholar athlete sponsored by Eastchester Chrysler jeep dodge ram field since Jed. Horowitz is an all league soccer player who's on his way to play in college for a team that just won the division three national championship. The senior with a four point oh grade point average in 15 20 s. A. T. Score is headed to the University of Chicago with plans to pursue environmental studies with the goal of finding climate solutions, taking a role in in the business world um to help to help create um fund solutions that are going to help save our planet. That's probably my, my biggest passion outside of soccer is um environmental work. That's not to say that soccer takes a backseat as Jed who last summer represented the U. S. And the Maccabi games dedicates about five hours a day, seven days a week to his favorite sport. When Covid hit right at the end of my ninth grade um I found myself with a lot of extra time and I decided that I could use it one of two ways. And when I started, you know, upping upping my athletic work. Um I realized that this was something I was super passionate about next year at U Chicago, A friendly face awaits, Jed's brother jake is a defensive back on the maroons football team. I'm very close with him. Um so to get two more years with him in colleges. I'm excited that he's also psyched to play for a trailblazing head coach, Julianne Sitch is a woman coaching the men's team. Her first season. She led Chicago to the national championship. It's been an inspiration for Every single person out there, um, to see her coming in against a lot of stereotypes and coming out with a national championship. So I'm excited to join her in the program with our scholar athlete at Fieldston. Pat O'Keefe News 12.
