“Soccer is my whole life.”

Jack Kraushaar is a standout in two things: soccer and math. A center defender on the Creston varsity soccer team, Jack was named to the All Conference team his senior year. He loves the game, along with track, bowling and swimming- his other Creston sports.

Jack mastered AP Calculus in high school, and he plans to complete several general education courses at GVSU in the fall. Then he hopes to transfer to University of Colorado in Colorado Springs, where he might have a shot at playing D2 soccer and studying environmental sciences and engineering.

An avid outdoorsman, Jack relishes any opportunity to go hunting, climbing, running and more. “Anything outdoors or environmental,” he says, “that’s for me.”
