We are proud to recognize Parker Kennedy as the 2025 ShopRite Nutmeg State Games Athlete of the Year for his outstanding achievements in track and field and his exemplary character both on and off the runway!
A sophomore at H.C. Wilcox Technical High School, Parker maintains a 3.8 GPA while competing year-round in long jump and triple jump. Over five years in the sport—and three years competing in the Nutmeg State Games—he has earned more than 35 medals across state, invitational, and Games competitions.
In 2025, Parker captured 1st Place in the Nutmeg State Games Long Jump (19’ 6¼”) and 3rd Place in Triple Jump (38’ 5½”). He is a State Champion in long jump and has surpassed the 20-foot milestone with a personal best of 20’ 5”.
Parker trains with the Lebron Athletic Club under Coach Nick Lebron and credits his continued growth to disciplined preparation, mentorship, strong academic support from his teachers, and the unwavering encouragement of his family.
His dedication, resilience, and humility make him a truly deserving recipient of this honor.
Congratulations, Parker! 👏🥇
