From Jaret's Website, JCampFit.com: For as long as I can remember, I have always been an athlete. Anything having to do with sports just seemed to come easy for me. Being a younger brother, I followed in my older brothers footsteps. We played soccer, basketball and football. However, it wasn't until I was 15 years old and my mom convinced me to go out for the Track and Field team, then my life really changed. I'll never forget what I said to her on that day, "Why mom, it's not like I'm going to go to the Olympics or something." I guess parents have a way of seeing things in us that we do not. In a few short years I was a 5-time state champion in the state of Pennsylvania, voted athlete of the year for the entire state and was offered a scholarship for Track and Field at Penn State University. In the 4x400 meter relay, after running 8 events in two days, I ran a 46.6 split and passed 8 of the best 400 runners in the state…before coming back to earth and finishing in 4th place. Had I won that 4th gold me
