Comeback Athlete Spotlight: Sullivan Jackson

Everything was looking up for Sullivan last year - he made state in cross country and was the starting point guard on the basketball team. His sophomore year at Cornerstone Christian School was also starting strong with a medal at state cross country. But then he underwent surgery for hip impingement.

Instead of starting with the varsity basketball team, Sullivan was in crutches, then a brace and then faced a lengthy rehabilitation process. Through the whole ordeal, he was resilient. He spent hours in the weight room, running and practicing on the basketball court.

When it came time to see if he had returned to his previous form? The answer was a resounding yes! He medaled at state cross country again - and led his team to a third-place finish. During basketball season, he returned to his role of starting point guard and was the leading scorer.

We are proud to spotlight Sullivan’s strength and determination as he fought to return to the sports he loves!

We are proud to once again have been part of the annual Arthritis Foundation Walk to Cure Arthritis! 💚
