Jesse Morrison played baseball every single year since T-ball, but decided to take this season off to focus on trap shooting and welding. Nominated by his sister Cassidy Sewald, she says “He’s absolutely crushing both.” In trap, he dominated at Angels Camp this season, taking home first place with a score of 98/100. On top of that, he’s just as good in the shop, locking down fourth place at the Columbia College welding competition.
Morrison has an great work ethic, and whether he’s shooting a near-perfect score or mastering a trade, he always gives it 100%. His sister also says, “I am so proud of him and can’t wait to see what he does in his future.”
