Versatile is a great word to describe Jillian Pollack, the Millbrook senior is all-state in cross country and both indoor and outdoor track. Pollack is also a cheerleader for the pioneers, and she does it all while maintaining a 4.36 GPA.
" I always have a schedule of every single thing I'm doing by the hour." says the busy Columbia University bound distance runner. "I'm so involved in club and sports and working and academics."
Pollack attends the Mountain Vista Governors School, and ranks 2nd in her class of 233. But even though she's an obvious role model for her teammates in the academic world, she also commands the respect of her peers on the track. "I've been captain for 3 years" says Jillian, "so just organizing practice and making sure everybody is in the right place at the right time has always been my job". Her coach Greg West adds, "She's captain because she can motivate people to run faster, she's every coaches dream."
Congratulations to Jillian Pollack of Millbrook High School, TV3 Winchester's Student Athlete of the Week.
